The JMU Center for STEM Education & Outreach engages students and faculty with the PK-12 STEM community by developing sustainable and mutually beneficial STEM education programs.
Our programs are designed to pique interest, foster STEM literacy development and skills for success in STEM, demonstrate how STEM impacts and is impacted by society, and raise awareness about STEM careers. We design inclusive programs so that all students in our region have access to these opportunities for learning and exploring.
