Key ideas:

  • Community: STEM learning ecosystems are built and sustained through intentional practices; thrive through reciprocal relationships; and are grounded in their geographic and cultural context.
  • Belonging: Ecosystems can broaden participation by cultivating genuine relationships among individuals and organizations; creating a flexible and transparent culture; sharing programming and resources; and prioritizing diversity, equity, accessibility, inclusion, and belonging.
  • Engagement: Authentic STEM engagement starts with understanding what is relevant to learners and communities, then creates connections to content through active learning experiences
