With the ever-evolving nature of STEM education, STEMposiums are the key to navigating both today’s instructional needs and tomorrow’s new normal in the classroom.
Featuring premier speakers from across the United States, each STEMposium brings together the knowledge of on-the-ground experts and relevant topics that every classroom in America is facing right now.
Most importantly, STEMposiums are not product promotions—they’re offered to address issues affecting all students for a better tomorrow. Because together, we are stronger than we are apart.

Students need to share how they feel, what they are thinking and feel safe in schools and afterschool programs. The time is now. We are all being impacted by these violent events but young people need to be taken care of. And we need to take care of their hearts, mental wellness and spirits. YOU can help here.
