Join the Catalyzing Inclusive STEM Experience All Year Round (CISTEME365) Network for a day of shared learning and networking on topics of informal STEM learning and creating equitable and inclusive STEM environments. If you hold an interest in developing equitable and socially just STEM classrooms, afterschool settings, and engineering-centered experiences, then this conference is for you.
Great for middle and high school STEM teachers, counselors, and administrators, as well as out-of-school-time STEM instructors and program leaders. We encourage you to attend as a collaborative team when possible.
Leave the conference with an action plan of your own for bringing greater inclusion, access, and equity in STEM to your school or organization.
