Our Vision
We are working to create a region where every student has the chance to pursue a career in STEM.
How we do it
We collaborate with, convene, and act as a conduit for K–12 schools, K-12 educators, the STEM industry, and higher education institutions.
Our programs
STEM fests
Students and STEM organizations come together for a day of STEM engagement through problem based learning challenges, career pathway exploration, and 1-on-1 STEM conversations
Educator Externtrips
These half-day immersion experiences connect local educators with STEM organizations to learn real-world technologies and practices to transform classroom teaching
STEM Industry Summit
Representatives from STEM organizations discuss key issues, share best practices, and leave equipped with tools and a network to start and expand STEM outreach initiatives
The STEMmY Awards
An annual celebration of students, pioneers, and partners, these awards honor the Triangle's outstanding work in STEM
