Minnesota STEM Ecosystem Partnership Grants

As part of the historic investment from the Minnesota Legislature, the Minnesota STEM Ecosystem has awarded more than a dozen Partnership Grants for the 2026-2027 to STEM education and workforce development initiatives across Minnesota totaling more than $700,000.00.

The partnership grants support youth STEM career exploration and workforce development through STEM internships, AI Pedagogy, the creation/expansion of robotics teams, drone programs (intra-curricular and out of school time), development/expansion of VR and other emerging technology learning programs, and the educator externships in emerging technology and in-demand career pathways.
