The Montana STEM Ecosystem is a network of organizations, institutions, industries and individuals working to expand STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) learning opportunities.
Building on the success of the Montana STEM Summits, which began in 2017, key priorities have been identified to guide our efforts:
creating a statewide centralized STEM effort for networking and resources
building bridges between learning opportunities and workforce needs
expanding access to STEM programming for all students
