Minnesota STEM Ecosystem Leadership
Leveraging collective expertise to promote collaboration and partnerships in STEM learning throughout Minnesota.
The Minnesota STEM Ecosystem is a statewide STEM Network. It was created through a cross-sector, cross-system collaboration of business, education, government, afterschool programs, museums, non-profit and community organizations, policy leaders.
The MN STEM Ecosystem operates as part of the MN Service Cooperatives and has the capacity to act as both an LEA and a nonprofit. While there are 9 service cooperatives and we work with all of them, our program is housed in the Southeast Service Cooperative.
