Get Involved – Get STEM

Join us on October 26th at Woodbury Park Place for the third annual statewide STEM Convening. Spend the afternoon with educators, industry leaders, nonprofits, workforce partners, and community organizations from across Minnesota where together we will explore innovative strategies for strengthening STEM learning and workforce development. 

Don’t miss out on the flexible training programs that fit the demanding schedules of today’s CTE educators. To ensure every teacher can participate, ITEEA offers a broad range of professional development in three distinct formats: In-Person Workshops: Hands-on, collaborative sessions focusing on practical application and lab mastery; Live Virtual Training: Interactive, real-time remote sessions led by industry and education experts; and Asynchronous Courses: Self-paced, flexible modules that teachers can complete anytime, anywhere.

Join us October 24, 2026 for the Innovate with AI Hackathon at the LNPK Community Hub in Duluth! In this hands-on workshop, participants work in teams to solve real world problems using AI. Participants learn prompt engineering, design thinking, and systems modeling and then pitch their ideas to win prizes! And did we mention- brunch is included! But make sure to register early, space is limited!

September 28-30, 2026 join MINNDEPENDENT at the School Leadership Conference at the premier gathering of private and independent school leaders across Minnesota.
