The K-12 STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Outreach Community of Interest’s mission is to promote and support pathways to STEM degrees and STEM careers for K-12 students as part of the national strategic effort to produce more STEM professionals for the nation.
Join the SAME Engage K-12 STEM Outreach NetworkVision
The K-12 STEM Outreach Committee provides for the security of the nation by ensuring a robust STEM workforce.
Scope
K-12 students need to be exposed to STEM activities, degrees, and careers as they move up the academic ladder. The committee will work with the network of Posts, individual members, sustaining members, service branches, and strategic partners to increase opportunities for STEM exposure for K-12 students. The COI will also promote the Society’s STEM programming at local, regional, and national events, as resources allow.
Activities
- Categorize different examples of how the Post/individuals support K-12 STEM at the local level
- Identify and provide guest speakers/webinars on relevant topics
- Serve as a clearinghouse of STEM information
- Provide a calendar of STEM (SAME/Post and external) events and points of contacts
