About the Event
The Omaha STEM Ecosystem is entering its next chapter, and we’re bringing the community together to share what’s ahead.
Join us for an evening of connection and conversation as we introduce new OSE leadership, share more about the Ecosystem’s partnership with the University of Nebraska at Omaha and the STEM TRAIL Center, and highlight how OSE’s strategic priorities are beginning to move into action.
This gathering is designed for anyone who has engaged with OSE over the years, as well as partners who want to be part of what comes next. Attendees will include leaders and practitioners from K–12 and higher education, business and industry, workforce development, nonprofits, informal STEM education, philanthropy, and the public sector.
The evening will include networking, a brief program, and an opportunity to connect with others working to strengthen STEM learning, career pathways, and workforce development across the Omaha region.
