Developing a Virginia STEM Network: A cross-university collaboration funded by 4-VA

STEM literacy is critical to workforce development and to an educated citizenry. Virginia has many points of pride in STEM education and is poised to accelerate STEM opportunities for all of its citizens.

We propose the Commonwealth of Virginia launch a statewide STEM Network that strengthens our existing collaborations, cultivates new strategic partnerships, and ensures that all Virginians can access the activities, relationships, and tools that will equip them with the knowledge, skills, and dispositions for the future.
