Welcome to STEM@SVSU — Science, Technology, Engineering, Math
The STEM Center at SVSU was founded in 2014 with generous support of The Dow Chemical Company. The mission of the center is to serve as a coordinated network of opportunities to link K-12, university and regional employers. Our purpose is to develop a STEM talent pipeline to meet the current and future needs of the Great Lakes Bay Area by:
- Providing professional development for STEM teachers
- Engaging STEM professionals to enhance STEM learning
- Increasing experiential learning for students at all grade levels
Summer STEM Video Contest
STEM@SVSU is partnering with MiStem East Central Michigan again this year in a Summer STEM Video Contest! The contest is open to all K-12 students and teachers in the Great Lakes Bay Region. It’s easy - just submit your information in this Google Form and send your video to STEM@svsu.edu between now and July 16th. If you are under 18 years of age, be sure to have your parent/guardian fill out the form with you. At least one video will be highlighted each week throughout the summer. In your video, be sure to introduce yourself (first name only and grade level or school name). If your video is chosen, you will win an awesome STEM kit, delivered directly to your house!
Videos should:
- Show you completing a STEM Activity at Home
- Be sent as MP4 or .MOV files to STEM@svsu.edu (please do not share a google file)
- Be approximately 1 to 3 minutes long
Mobile Research Lab
SVSU's mobile research lab gives K-12 students access to modern scientific research, hands-on experiments and environmental studies to stimulate their interest, knowledge and positive attitudes toward science.
Students monitor the health of the Saginaw Bay through partners such as the Bay County Health Department.
Undergraduate students can receive funding for projects, such as this prototype of a 'muck vacuum' for the Bay City State Recreation Area.
Bay City Western students build a networked structure where worms and fish will produce food for plants.
Making classes like physics and math "cool", and is a goal of the Dow Corning Foundation/SVSU STEM Community Partnership.
Seventh graders at Thompson Middle School are building a hydroponic system as a result of the Dow Corning Foundation/SVSU STEM Community Partnership.
