Educators are integral to Michigan's science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) ecosystem. Expert teachers, conveying the excitement of STEM through interdisciplinary, hands-on inquiry, and problem solving, are our most precious resource. Our region has many outstanding STEM teachers pre-K through college, as well as outside of formal learning environments.
