The goal of Project Co-STEM is to support community and culturally relevant Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education among the rural communities and tribal nations of Northern Arizona and New Mexico. The Professional Development courses, that are the focus of this project, are an opportunity to share tools, resources, and strategies for developing project-based learning opportunities for students that give them experiences working with real-world data on issues or topics that impact their communities.
