SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, AND MATH EDUCATION COALITION (STEM-EC)


STEM-EC is a dynamic group of committed business leaders, educators, and community advocates working to better connect industry and the K-16 academic community in efforts to graduate more students with the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) skills needed to meet the needs of Colorado’s science and technology employers. Home to such companies as Qwest, Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Sun Microsystems, Hewlett Packard and CH2M HILL, the Metro Denver area is a hub for technology companies in need of talented young people to fill future jobs.

Created in June 2006 by the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce, CH2M HILL and Avaya, STEM-EC’s mission is to increase the number of STEM graduates and to prepare them for the challenges of a technology-STEM-EC articledriven economy via a variety of pathways, including career and technical education, community colleges and universities.
