Improving STEM Education Through Community Partnerships
In Oregon, six regional science, technology, engineering, and math "hubs," or cross-sector partnerships, have won grants to help improve STEM education statewide. The hubs link K-12 schools with universities, businesses, and community organizations, such as nonprofits and museums, to boost in-school and out-of-school STEM opportunities for students. Such partnerships are popping up in states around the country.
In this webinar, Mark Lewis, Oregon's STEM Director, and Lita Colligan, the South Metro-Salem STEM co-chair, will share lessons they've learned on building community-based partnerships among science- and math-focused groups. They'll answer questions about what other states, communities, and STEM leaders should consider in developing their own hubs, and how connecting science and math efforts can be a long-term improvement strategy.
The underwriting for this webinar has been provided by the Noyce Foundation.
