STEM Learning Ecosystems

Supported by the STEM Funders Network, the STEM Learning Ecosystems Initiative is built on over a decade of research into successful STEM collaborations, and seeks to nurture and scale effective science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) learning opportunities for all young people. The 56 communities from across the United States have demonstrated cross-sector collaborations that will create new models for delivering rigorous, effective preK-16 instruction in STEM learning. These collaborations happen in schools and beyond the classroom—in afterschool and summer programs, at home, in science centers, libraries and other places both virtual and physical. STEM Next serves as the home of the STEM Learning Ecosystems Initiative.
