Making a Difference: K-12 STEM Outreach Resources  & Programs

In inspiring the next generation of scientists, engineers and technologists, we need K-12 outreach programs that support schools in providing the STEM know-how, excitement, energy and financial support for mentoring students about possible STEM careers. We also need programs that work with teachers and schools to bring more engineering concepts into our education process. 

Here are some K-12 STEM outreach resources and programs.
