Exciting news for Minnesota’s STEM community!
The Minnesota STEM Ecosystem has been awarded $1.5 million in workforce development funding from the Minnesota State Legislature as part of the Workforce, Labor, and Economic Development Omnibus Bill. This investment will expand access to high-quality STEM learning opportunities and career pathways across Minnesota — helping to align education with industry needs and prepare the next generation of innovators, engineers, and technology leaders.
The Minnesota STEM Ecosystem was honored to host two international delegations this Spring [2025] as part of the U.S. Department of State’s International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP)—highlighting Minnesota’s leadership in public-private partnerships, STEM education, and workforce development.
Building Public Private Partnerships that benefit Minnesota Learners
Made possible by a generous donation from Medtronic, the Minnesota STEM Ecosystem is providing immersive virtual reality (VR) tools for STEM career exploration and learning throughout the state. This marks the second donation from Medtronic to support Minnesota STEM learners. Through this growing public-private partnership, Medtronic has now contributed more than $60,000 worth of Oculus Quest 2 VR headsets to Minnesota’s STEM education efforts.
