STEM Learning Ecosystems are dynamic, community-driven networks designed to foster a culture of lifelong learning and innovation in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
These ecosystems bring together diverse stakeholders—such as schools, businesses, government agencies, non-profits, and community organizations—to create integrated pathways that support STEM education and workforce development.
The goal of STEM Learning Ecosystems is to break down silos between formal and informal education, ensuring that learners of all ages have access to a continuum of high-quality STEM experiences. By leveraging local assets and addressing specific community needs, these ecosystems help cultivate a talent pipeline that is prepared for the demands of the modern workforce, while also promoting social equity and economic vitality.
STEM Learning Ecosystems are characterized by their emphasis on collaboration, innovation, and inclusivity. They provide opportunities for hands-on learning, real-world problem solving, and interdisciplinary approaches that engage students, educators, and the broader community in meaningful ways. Ultimately, these ecosystems aim to empower individuals with the skills and knowledge necessary to thrive in a rapidly changing world and to contribute to their communities’ sustainable growth and development.
