National STEM Week
National STEM Week
This week will run from November 7th to November 11th where we are asking teachers to gear up and offer STEM-based opportunities in their classrooms, across grade levels, building-wide, or, even better, integrate STEM with some form of service learning project for your local community. For additional support, please access our Resources page.

Besides offering our kids the chance to engage in cross-curricular activities, an added goal of STEM Week is to publicize the great work of our schools. With this in mind, we hope that you can help us follow up on STEM Week with a “media blitz” on November 7 - 11 to showcase what participating schools have accomplished by:
Post to social media platforms (tag #STEM4ALL & #STEMinPA & #YOUBelongInSTEM / mention @SHINEonPA) any descriptions, images, and/or video of your school’s STEM Week endeavors.
Use digital signage to display the following message “Promoting STEM opportunities for ALL students – Nov 8th National STEM Day SHINEonPA STEM Ecosystem”
Contact local press/political offices
“YOU Belong in STEM initiative” The goals of YOU Belong in STEM and activities of the STEM Learning Ecosystems are to illustrate that STEM needs and welcomes women, students of color, students living in poverty, Native American and Alaska Native students, students with disabilities and other marginalized students.
Email Francine Kluck, fkluck@lccc.edu, any information regarding the STEM Week events your school plans to facilitate for this media blitz.
