Appalachian STEM Collaborative

Our latest initiative, the Appalachian STEM Collaborative, is designed to cultivate a thriving STEM culture in schools across our region. This innovative program aims to equip students with the skills they need for the in-demand jobs of the 21st century and beyond.

By fostering partnerships between educators, businesses, and community leaders, the STEM Collaborative emphasizes the importance of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in a well-rounded education. As we tackle complex challenges together, we inspire creative solutions and drive meaningful change. With STEM careers projected to represent 90% of future jobs in our region—offering wages up to 68% higher than non-STEM positions—it’s vital that we prepare our students for this evolving landscape. Join us in our mission to ensure that every child has the opportunity to thrive in a dynamic future. Together, we can build a stronger community through the power of STEM education.
