STEM Learning Ecosystems

Hello all! We are excited to invite you to a webinar to build a Community of Practice for the academic side of STEM in Maryland. The Maryland STEM Ecosystem will welcome members in early July. In preparation for this "Ribbon Cutting" ceremony, we invite all of Maryland Academia to join the cause. This initiative is designed to unite individuals passionate about STEM education and its future in our state. The webinar will take place on July 12, 2024, from 1230 pm – 130 pm. The goal is to have at least one representative from each school district or institution in Maryland. However, there is no upper limit to the number of participants—everyone is welcome! Why Join? This STEM Community of Practice will be a vital committee to share academic and industry-led programs and events. By participating, you will: 1. Advise on STEM Needs: Play a critical role in identifying and addressing the academic STEM needs across Maryland. 2. Exclusive Opportunities: Receive exclusive invitations to events and programs beneficial for your organization or institution. 3. Regional Representation: Ensure your region’s voice is heard, bringing significant impact opportunities in STEM for students statewide. Please share this invitation widely across all educational platforms! Post it, forward it, and encourage your colleagues to join. Together, we can make a substantial difference in the STEM landscape for our students. Attendees may register for the webinar with the form at: https://lnkd.in/eH9EE27x Let’s come together to foster a dynamic and collaborative STEM community that drives academic excellence.

I am thrilled to announce that last week my co-founder Huld Hafliðadóttir and I signed a formal partnership between our non-profit organization STEM Ísland and the University of Iceland - Háskóli Íslands. This partnership will enable us to leverage the strength and resources of Iceland´s national university to further benefit communities across Iceland and the Arctic through advancing STEM and STEAM education, using the STEM Learning Ecosystems approach. "This is an important day for STEM education in Iceland," it was said at this signing. I could not agree more. SO thrilled.
