STEAM For Students

An Assessment of STEAM Careers and Workforce Development in Northern New Mexico

The goal of this project was to gather information about what inspires individuals to pursue STEAM career pathways, what local STEAM career opportunities are available, and what are effective methods to connect individuals interested in STEAM careers and available opportunities in Northern New Mexico (NNM). We created a website for the NNM Community Learning Network containing information we gathered via interviews, surveys, and online research. We recommend early access to STEAM education, marketing STEAM careers in engaging ways, and seeking a mentor or role model in the STEAM industry to aid in sparking an interest in pursuing STEAM careers.
