STEM Professionals with Class

New STEM site for testers click here NEW for Genentech Grant Recipients!!!  Student Survey       Teacher Survey The STEM PC program enables meaningful and effective collaboration between Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics professionals and teachers in order to: •    Improve K-12 student and teacher STEM content understanding. •    Improve student attitudes toward and interest in careers in science.      STEM PC is developing a secure web space for educators and STEM professionals to establish contacts and form partnerships, and a matrix of age appropriate lessons and learning opportunities.

This partnership effort builds on the success and lessons learned from a partnership between SDSA and The Biocom Institute to form the Science Education Speaker's Bureau in 2008 that enabled collaboration between life science professionals and 7th grade life science teachers.  Results of this program indicate that teachers find value in collaborating with STEM professionals, but that program focus needs more emphasis on career development and how scientists use skills learned in the classroom in their worklife.
