Igniting Innovation 2.0
STEM Next has extensive experience working with national networks to build capacity, and has partnered with the 50 State Afterschool Network for over 9 years. This collaboration was designed to leverage and build on the existing network infrastructure in order to expand the availability of quality STEM in afterschool and summer and impact more students across the country. This successful effort has grown from 30 states to all 50 states, with many formalized as STEM Next national affiliates.
