The STEM Education Alliance seeks to increase the number of students entering science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers through multi-faceted interventions in K-12 education and beyond. The STEM Education Alliance’s efforts include establishing partnerships between the military, private sector and local school systems; developing instructional materials for use in the class
room; conducting summer academies for middle school students; and training teachers, counselors, and STEM professionals. Since 2004, the STEM Education Alliance has served children, with a focus on underrepresented communities, through direct mentorship between students and STEM professionals.
