Building STEM Ecosystems

The Building STEM Ecosystems Working Group will work to develop the infrastructure and guidelines to develop the State of Alabama’s first regional STEM Ecosystems. These STEM Ecosystems will become collaborative communities of practice for regional partnerships between K-12 schools, higher education institutions, industry leaders, workforce leaders, legislators, non-profit organizations, and local stakeholders with an interest in improving STEM learning. This working group intends to develop the mechanism for statewide STEM Ecosystems that will cultivate and support STEM learning and foster STEM communities of practice that will impact students’ interest in STEM-related careers and strengthen the STEM workforce in Alabama
