The STEM Pre‐Academy fosters inspiration and relevance in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, primarily through initiatives such as teacher workshops, technical focus sessions, and collaborative interaction between middle school teachers, University of Hawaii researchers, and government/industry STEM subject matter experts. This teacher‐driven multidisciplinary program helps public middle school educators develop and implement research and technology‐based student curriculum. These include lessons, activities, and projects that correspond to real‐world STEM‐related educational needs and interests as expressed by the educators themselves. The STEM Pre-Academy is a state-funded program, focused on public middle school teachers in Hawaii.
