Welcome to the Southeast Michigan STEM Network
Michigan, together with business, education, and community partners, is embarking on a journey to create a MiSTEM Network throughout the state. This opportunity grew out of Governor Snyder’s MiSTEM Advisory Council recommendation to make Michigan a world leader in STEM education.

What is "STEM Education"?

  • The intentional development of science, technology, engineering (design thinking & problem solving), and mathematics skills and competencies by all stakeholders at all levels through an integrated instructional delivery system.
  • The creative application of these skills to relevant, engaging and authentic inquiry, investigation, and discover
  • The exploration of and preparation for careers that rely on the command of these skills and competencies.

MiSTEM Network Four Pillars

Creating a STEM Culture

This culture inspires, informs and mobilizes all community members towards economic and educational success.

Empower STEM Teachers

Educators need research-based professional learning, resources and networks of support to provide robust STEM learning experiences for students.

Integrating Business and Education

Business and industry partners provide authentic and relevant problems for student learning. When schools and business collaborate students and the community benefit.

Ensure High-Quality STEM Experiences

High-quality experiences engage all learners to improve their educational outcomes and enjoyment of school.

MiSTEM Statewide Network

"Michigan is famous for having random acts of high quality STEM experience in different communities around the state. One of the important reasons MiSTEM was created is to lift those examples up and help excite all our young Michiganders about the fun learning opportunities that can exist in their hometown."        Adam Zemke, MiSTEM Advisory Council - May 12, 2020
