The CSLWP STEM Ecosystem is now the SHINEonPA Stem Ecosystem. Our mission remains the same, to promote STEM opportunities for ALL students and arm them with 21st Century employability skills.

The SHINEonPA STEM Ecosystem is a one of over 114 designated STEM Ecosystems in the US, Canada, Mexico, Iceland, Colombia, Israel, and Kenya. The STEM Learning Ecosystem initiative empowers communities to bring together local partners to create systemic change to ensure underserved and underrepresented students develop STEM knowledge and skills they need to learn and thrive in today's world. Ecosystems provide the architecture for cross-sector learning, offering all young people access to STEM-rich learning environments so they can develop important skills and engagement in science, technology, engineering and math throughout preK-16.

Strong STEM Learning Ecosystems feature dynamic collaborations among schools, out-of-school time programs, STEM expert institutions (such as museums, science centers, institutions of higher education and STEM professional associations), the private sector, community-based organizations, youth and families.
