Thanks for all of your efforts on this blog. My aunt takes pleasure in getting into research and it’s obvious why. I notice all about the lively means you present sensible guidance through this website and in addition improve participation from some others about this point then my simple princess is really studying so much. Take advantage of the remaining portion of the year. You’re performing a tremendous job.
I am a teacher in Illinois. I am interested in obtaining more advanced training that will support the STEM project. Pleas advise.
Nice resource kudos with regard to placing it way up.

As a high school technology/engineering teacher constantly looking to reach out for new ideas. I specialize in CADD and Graphics
I am wanting to collaborate with the mathematics department, and the CTE deparment for robotics and health careers to implement a STEM program for high school.
I work at a high school in Arkansas we are having meetings to discuss the implementation of a STEM program through horizontal and vertical alignment to make learning meaningful using project based, authentic learning. We are looking for any resources (Including grants), activities and training to help us organize and use the STEM concept.
i AM EXCITIED AFTER SEING AND READING ABOUT STEM. I AM A GRANDFATHER WITH TWIN GRANDDAUGHTERS, WHO HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN SCIENCE WITH ROCKET LAUNCHING AND ROBOTIC COMPITION. sOME INVLOVEMENT WAS AS SPECTATORS AND OTHER INVOLVEMENT WAS AS AS A TEAM MEMBER FOR LAUNCHING THE ROCKET. I WANT TO HELP THEM AND HELP BROWARD COUNTY IN EXPANDING YOUR IDEAS THROUGHOUT OUR COUNTY IN SOUTHEAST FLORIDA. wHAT A GREAT WAY FOR A GRANDFATHER TO HELP. i AM SURE THERE ARE MORE LIKE ME WHO CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. THE END RESULT WOULD BE FOR THE TECHNOLOGY IMPROVEMENT OF OUR FUTURE GENERATIONS.
I think STEM should be essential curriculum definitely in grades K-6, How else will we foster the passion for science, mathematics and learning?
I’m a Parent Leader, my Daughter is a Junior student of Chemical Engineer at UCONN STORR in Ct. I love to help parents to guide their children to be future Engineer. and Achieve High Education
How does a company go about attaining membership in the STEM Coalition?
I have two young children elementary school age and I would like to receieve more newsletters or information about STEM to my emails.
Thank you

I would like to bring STEM to our elementary school in Tampa – Florida. How can I join? How much does it cost to bring STEM program to our public elementary school? Where does the professional development take place near Tampa and how much does it cost? Thanks in advance for providing me with the necessary information.
Hello,
I produce educational films for Latino families. Our films are called Novelas Educativas and we’ve just released a STEM Novel called, “Soldando Mi Futuro” on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isp5j-dW6lI&feature=plcp
Looking forward to joining this forum and gaining ideas for STEM.
I am a MATHMATICS major attending college, and I am eagerly interested to learn more of the STEM programs. Also, I desire to work and met experienced and new career holders in these fields. Does anyone know how I can apply to meet, work, and be a part of this program? I am elated to start my life as helper, pursuer, problem-solver, and leader to the word.
I would like for SC odyssye of the Mind to become an affiliate member.
Please point me in the right direction.
How do we become an affiliate member of the Coalition?
If the STEM coalition can put me in touch with Tim above (or others who want to do STEM start-ups), I am the founding principal of Hughes STEM High School in Cincinnati, and we can definitely help him and his colleagues get STEM started. Contact us at 513-363-7400.
I would like more information and training about the STEM program. I am very interested in incorporating the STEM education system in my classroom. I would like to partner with the coalition to open a PK-6 school. Just how do I get started and begin changing education in my community?
We will be hosting a STEM symposium in October and we would like to become a member! Can you please send me information on joining? Thank you!
I am interested in becoming an Affiliate Member of STEM Education Coalition. I look forward to implementing STEM at my school site. I am a high school Special Education educator who teaches Biology (13 years), Earth Science (3 years) and Chemistry (1 year).
It seems that STEM has the potential to help our school children achieve the academic success not only in Science and Math, but it will enhance a student’s education in Language and Literature. Let’s make sure this is available to all.
I would like information on integrating STEM into my middle school science curriculum. I currently teach 6th, 7th and 8th grade science.
How do you become an affiliate member?
My son is a Webelos cub scout and I am bringing forward the information on the new NOVA award based on STEM. Also, our public school system is currently collapsing in front of our eyes, so a coalition of parents is beginning to form to address the increased need for out of school organized learning. I am also very interested as my daughter is 12 and this is such a vital period for her brilliant mind to not loose the focus on STEM subjects if possible. Thank you so much for what you are doing.
You’ve created an invaluable organization and I look forward to partnering with and using the resources you have to inspire and propel students toward higher achievement in S.T.E.M.
Thank you.
I am a science teacher in a S.T.E.M. Academy. I would like to have access to resources that will help me understand and teach the S.T.E.M. Curriculum to my students. This is our first year as a S.T.E.M. Academy, and I am still trying to find my way.
I am currently, initiating a STEM program involving science and mathematic while studying the topic of meterology. I have been in contact with the WeatherBug organization which markets advanced, for high schools, weather detection equipment such as anomometers, barometers, lightning detector, short-range (150 miles) radar along with other instruments. I am currently searching for funding for this equipment and computers, DVRs, monitors and related equipment. Can anyone make suggestion as to possible sources of grant monies for these items?
I teach ESL/ELL & Spanish at the Middle School level & constantly try to incorporate science. In schools with a heavy English Language Learner population it is often misunderstood that they need hours of only reading/spelling/English and Science is often neglected. The academic language of Science is often mistaught. This is a huge focus for me in my teaching. I would love to know more/learn more & be part of a collaborative community that builds understanding & focus in this area.
Also we like to be a part of STEM!
As a plastic injection molding company we are committed to improving the education and skills training needed to keep American’s competitive in the high-tech world of manufacturing. We would like to become Affiliate Members.
can you forward the information to me.
Thanks
Keep up the good work. Love it. Thank you.
