As an office of the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity, the MiSTEM Network and MiSTEM Advisory Council work together at the state and local levels to advance PK-12 STEM education, broaden access to STEM activities.

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.
