- Increase students’ interest in STEM education and careers at all levels (preschool−college)
- Recruit and prepare more students to become STEM educators
- Increase student and community awareness about the benefits of STEM education and achievement
- Support the development of scientifically literate citizens in our area who can make informed decisions about public policy and who understand the world around them
