The STEM Education Coalition works aggressively to raise awareness in Congress, the Administration, and other organizations about the critical role that STEM education plays in enabling the U.S. to remain the economic and technological leader of the global marketplace of the 21st century. The Coalition advocates for strengthening of STEM-related programs for educators and students and increased federal investments in STEM education. We also support robust federal investments in basic scientific research to inspire current and future generations of young people to pursue careers in STEM fields. Members of the STEM Coalition believe that our nation must improve the way our students learn science, mathematics, technology and engineering and that the business, education, and STEM communities must work together to achieve this goal.

Hi, As a T/E high school teacher, I am looking for information about how to set up a STEM Academy at the high school I work at. We currently have Tech Engineering and the necessary science and math classes. How does it all work? What is a workable framework of classes, students, teachers, space, etc? How does it work with middle and elementary school students? Any help is apprciated.
Thank you!
I am a high school principal at Oakland Aviation High School, we are a charter high school in Oakland, California. I would like more information on how we can become a partner with STEM. Thank you, Connie Spinnato
We are researching the definition of STEM. What do you use as a working definition?
I am in eighth grade and i have a class called careers. My teacher gave me an assignment to look up STEM. I am very interested and I would love to learn more.

A young lady told me at Spalding University that if I was interested in teaching math and apply for their Master’s of Arts in Teaching. That whatver loans that was acquired while attending their would be erased due to the STEM Coalition policy. Is this true?
I am interested in turning my class into a STEM class. What do I need to do?
this site is very helpfufl and useful !!!!!!!!!!
I am an 8th grade Physical Science teacher interested in adding more STEM inclusive lessons into my required standards based curriculum. While we do offer components of Project Lead the Way, we have limited this to our “advanced” classes. I would like to find additional resources that will allow all students more opportunity to be exposed to STEM.
The small rural school I teach at is interested in the STEM program and starting one at our school. How do we begin? We have limited resources but a high level of interest.
I am in the process of starting a charter school. I would like more information about starting a STEM school.
For the last 3 years I have advocated technical education for all children and young adults. My approach has been to build and present a robot that interacts with people of all ages. Currently I have been taking this robot to schools and into their tech. classes with great success. I am now working with some of the colleges and universities in Minnesota (Century, U of M, St. Thomas) to present technology to schools in a new and exciting way. With the exception of college students who have volunteered to intern with me I am basically working alone with no financial support whatsoever. My company name is Robotogram, named by the children who have seen it, because as they put it; it is a mechanical device that delivers a message. This new hands on approach is new and proven to be great way to open doors to a lot of school age children. In a nutshell, I would appreciate any help you would be able to provide so I can continue my work. Robotogram.com
Like many of your other questions above i am interested in a description of what a STEM school looks like-how the instruction is integrated and how students are introduced to STEM professions, etc.
IYE IYE!!
good information
We are laid off math teachers who are trying to set up a non-profit organinzation primarily in teaching math to elementary, junior high, and high school students for the after school programs. We want to know how to set up STEM programs in helping these students.
If you are interested in a STEM program in your area, I suggest that you first assess and analyze the needs of the businesses in your area. Create a Craft committee from your business community to allow them to provide you with the necessary information that employers are seeking (skills, personal character, knowledge, critical thinking, logic and employment readiness). Next, evaluate your current curriculum to determine if it is sufficient to meet the needs of employers or how can you tweak it within your strategy. Finally, get students involves so that they are definitely included in determining the
skill sets and body of knowledge that will fit within the overall
methodology……much success.
I am a student at Norfolk State University, my major is Building Construction Technology. I am curious as to how I can be apart of the STEM program?
Why STEM? To ignite a passion for applied science and engineering for the purpose of a/ increasing engineering school graduates that stay in the U.S. to supply the needs of corporations, main street, and entrepreneurial ventures; or b/ boosting the inventiveness and technical capabilities of all students entering the U.S. employment market. For those interested in a highly effective and easy means to use an Integrated STEM approach with all in-class equipment and step by step guide, please take a look at STEMgeo. Sure there are science and math program out there, but few have technology and engineering integrated into an interesting hands-on technical curriculum. Can a second grader understand how to calculate the velocity of a wave…of course she can!
Could you please tell me what fields are included in STEM? Particularly, is medical science included in STEM?
What a wonderful website! Full of great inspiration..
We are beginning a STEM program and we are seeking direction to best serve the student. We would like to present the program to all students who are willing to go the distance and dedicate themselves to the challenge. We need interships and Corporate involvement. Please direct us on how to obtain local Community envolvment so it will spark interest in the students entering the program.
My name is Malia Galluccio , I am a 4th year student in EARTH University located in Costa Rica Studying Agricultural Science and will love to get as much information as I can for a school project of improving elementary school level education in schools using gardening and implementing STEM education . Please contact me . Thank you very much.
Can you give me information on how I can use this program to start a summer program for students in the Delta, West Helena, Arkansas?
