Through school-year programs, annual events, and community partnerships, the STEM Center creates opportunities that inspire curiosity, build STEM literacy, support career exploration, and demonstrate the impact of STEM in everyday life. Our initiatives serve K–12 students and educators across the region while offering JMU students and faculty meaningful ways to engage with the community. Informed by research-based best practices, faculty and student interests, and regional needs, we strive to create inclusive, sustainable experiences that broaden participation in STEM and strengthen connections between JMU and the communities we serve.
