Create opportunities for STEM teachers to invest in their professional growth during the school day.

Inspire STEM teachers to apply innovative scientific methods in their classrooms while also inspiring STEM experts to view education as a viable career option.

Enhance STEM teachers' science literacy and deepen their knowledge of real-world scientific practices and STEM application.
