Welcome to STEM@SVSU — Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics
The STEM Center at SVSU was founded in 2014 with generous support of Dow (formerly 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
Nominate a STEM Star
STEM@SVSU is partnering with MiSTEM, East Central Michigan Region to recognize STEM Stars from the Great Lakes Bay Region (Arenac, Bay, Clare, Gladwin, Gratiot, Isabella, Midland, Saginaw counties). A STEM Star may be a K-12 classroom teacher, Robotics Coach, STEM Coordinator, or someone else in your building who makes incredible contributions to STEM education. Districts may nominate more than one individual as a STEM Star. All nominations will be reviewed by a committee and those selected will receive a $250 award to enhance STEM education in their classroom or program, as well as a 3D printed keepsake.
Timeline: All nominations are due by Thursday, December 14th. Awardees and nominators will be notified via email by Monday, January 15th.
