Michigan, together with business, education, and community partners, is embarking on a journey to make a world leader in STEM education. The work of the MiSTEM Network is to build on existing STEM networks to create a STEM ecosystem that supports and implements the components outlined in the four pillars.
The Four Pillars

Create a STEM Culture
This culture inspires, informs, and mobilizes all community members toward economic and educational success.

Empower Teachers
Educators need research-based professional learning, resources, and networks of support to provide robust STEM learning experiences for students.

Integrate Business & Industry
Business and industry partners provide authentic and relevant problems for student learning. When schools and business collaborate, students and the community benefit.

Ensure High-Quality STEM Experiences
High-quality experiences engage all learners to improve their educational outcomes and enjoyment of school.
