Making STEM Partnerships Work

Science ATL’s STEM Professional School Partnership (SPSP) program works with metro Atlanta teachers to cultivate partnerships between schools and local STEM businesses. The program matches 32 STEM professionals with 32 K-12 schools for a year of monthly interactions, reaching 4500 students. Partners set goals to achieve together based on school needs assessments and asset mapping.

 

During this moderated panel discussion, attendees will hear from program sponsors and participants while learning how to leverage STEM partnerships in an evolving world. While COVID certainly impacted the process, it did not stop STEM professionals from engaging with students in meaningful ways. We will share additional resources for creating and maintaining STEM partnerships. With success stories, lessons learned, and actionable tools, attendees will be empowered to make initial connections with STEM professionals and establish sustainable school STEM partnerships.
