National STEM Initiative

Building Stronger STEM Communities Through Collaboration

Connecting institutions, educators, researchers, and partners to strengthen STEM education, workforce development, and shared learning.

Our Approach

The STEM Collaborative connects colleges and universities, professional societies, nonprofit organizations, federal agencies, foundations, industry partners, educators, and researchers to strengthen STEM education and research.

Rather than creating another organization, we focus on connecting and amplifying the people and institutions already working across the STEM ecosystem.

Connect. Collaborate. Strengthen STEM

Our Vision

We envision a national STEM community where institutions and organizations routinely share knowledge, learn from one another, combine their strengths, and work together to address complex educational, research, and workforce challenges.
