Educators

Kansas City area educators understand the importance of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) education and extracurricular programs. Not only can these programs provide students with unique and fulfilling educational experiences in STEM, but involvement in these programs can also enrich a student’s overall learning experience and guide them to post-secondary education opportunities and prosperous life-long careers.

In pursuing support for STEM programs, educators may often lack the support needed to champion adoption of these programs; the connections needed to garner financial and volunteer support from local STEM professionals; or student involvement and parental support.

The KC STEM Alliance connects schools, industry partners and affiliate organizations, such as Project Lead the Way (PLTW) and FIRST, by streamlining and simplifying communications for everyone involved. Further, by acting as a hub and resource for the local STEM community, the KC STEM Alliance serves to allocate resources where they are needed – helping to build a more diverse and broad base of support for STEM curriculum and programs.

Benefits of partnering with the KC STEM Alliance include access to:

Grant funds to strengthen STEM programs
Connections with volunteer support from local STEM professionals and post-secondary faculty
Education and support materials needed to promote the benefits of STEM education programs
Research and statistical information showing the value of STEM curriculum and programs

Innovative ways to reach out to under-served student populations and their families
