We define S.T.E.M. and integrated STEM education broadly, and thus STEM learning is relevant to most industries. STEM education starts early, there are many career pathways related to STEM, and our region has exciting initiatives to support these pathways.

We will share ways that educators and other stakeholders have leveraged the incredible strengths of those in this region to support teachers and students in STEM.

The Center of Excellence in STEM Education at ETSU oversees the Northeast TN STEM Innovation Hub.
