STEM learning in rural communities shares many characteristics across vast geographies, yet it is also distinctly unique to each place. The National Rural STEM Learning Summit brings together STEM educators, administrators, STEM industry professionals, and community leaders to strengthen and elevate the quality of STEM education in rural communities through practice and dialogue.
First launched in August 2023 in Flagstaff, Arizona, the Summit drew STEM educators from K-12 and higher education, STEM-industry leaders, research institutes, science centers and museums, community organizations, and other nonprofits to learn from STEM education experts on current methodologies and best teaching practices, participate in hands-on workshops, and to share resources and expand their professional networks. This special event helped to explore the unique challenges and opportunities of STEM education in rural communities and provide practical, workable resources and solutions for participants.
