Networks - STEM

Mission

Recognizing that Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) are critical to our economy, our national security, and our global leadership in innovation and research, and that our key resource lies in students with STEM promise, the mission of the STEM Network is to strengthen STEM education research in these areas, enhance recognition for the gifted, talented, promising, and creative students and increase opportunities for these students inside and outside of school.
