MiSTEM PILLARS
The MiSTEM Network seeks to unify key industries, communities, and organizations to support STEM education through interdisciplinary teaching and learning within a coordinated and adaptable system. This vision is built on four pillars: create a STEM culture, empower STEM teachers, integrate business and education, and ensure high-quality STEM experiences. The fourth pillar, high-quality STEM learning, focuses on "3-P learning," which encompasses problem-, project-, and place-based learning.
