On April 13, 2023, representatives from education, industry, non-profits and other institutions gathered in Helena, Montana to discuss how to better collaborate to advance STEM learning in the state (STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and mathematics). This report outlines the resources, barriers and ideas that were discussed at the Summit, and includes suggested next steps for growing STEM learning across the Big Sky State. The report can be used as a snapshot of the current state of STEM learning in Montana as well as a road map for prioritizing future STEM initiatives.
