The effort to enhance education in the STEM fields is part of a national initiative to prepare Americans for today’s and tomorrow’s jobs – and to ensure that our country remains a leader in technology and innovation.
Part of what makes the STEM Academy so enriching is the partnerships we have with local organizations. Please consider hosting a STEM student as an intern.
At the Fairbanks Museum & Planetarium's STEM Lab, students perform authentic scientific research, driven by their own curiosity, and inspired by mentors and educators with a passion for discovery. ​This state-of-the-art lab was established in partnership with the New Hampshire Academy of Sciences (NHAS) to address the need in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom for middle and high school students to learn the scientific method. The facility is part of the Fairbanks Museum campus and provides access to a wide array of advanced scientific instruments and outstanding educational resources.
FourScienceVT is a museum consortium led by VINS, ECHO, Fairbanks, and Montshire, designed to address the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education needs of Vermont's communities during the Covid-19 Coronavirus pandemic and beyond.
A STEM camp teaches hard skills for future careers in science, technology, engineering, and math in a fun and engaging summer setting (and now online). Such programs foster valuable 21st-century life skills like problem-solving, creativity, collaboration, and more.
Our goal is to improve STEM based education by funding projects and programs that will help develop student interest in further education and careers in STEM related fields. By improving students’ overall level of understanding of STEM, we aim to advance their skills in teamwork, decision making, problem solving and communication.

STARBASE Vermont has served students, teachers and schools since 1994. Our mission is to raise the interest and improve the knowledge and skills of youth in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). We provide an exciting activity-based curriculum involving hands-on STEM, teambuilding, and healthy choices.
To succeed in the 21st century, Vermont’s students need access to high-quality, research-based science education. In 2013, Vermont adopted the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) as a foundation for science instruction. Based on the Framework for K-12 Education, the NGSS refocuses K-12 science education to improve readiness for college and STEM careers as well as preparing students to become informed, knowledgeable citizens. The standards are designed so that students apply scientific practices, ask questions, problem solve, make mistakes, and correct misconceptions, with the larger goal of reaching deeper scientific understanding.
VELI-STEM is a three year grant from IMLS and in partnership with the Vermont Center for the Book and Vermont Department of Libraries that focuses on Physical Science through inquiry. Year one examined Force and Motion; Year Two examines Building and Engineering and Year Three examines Air and Water. The primary goal of Physical Science experiences for children is to allow them to explore objects, materials and events in new and different ways.
The VSTEM Collaborative consists of a group of stakeholders from across Vermont who are interested in advancing STEM education opportunities for Vermont's students and educators.

All students who attend Vermont Academy have the opportunity to take STEM courses and participate in STEM activities that meet their academic and non-academic needs. Students can learn computational thinking and coding, collect water quality data, statistically analyze sustainability data, and construct both robots and musical instruments.
We work with afterschool programs, advocates, and partners throughout the state to strengthen out-of-school time programming for children and youth in Vermont, to expand the number and types of programs being offered, and to improve access for all children and youth regardless of race, creed, color, religion, sexual orientation, family income, family situation, or geographic location.
Vermont Day School’s STEM program seeks to promote curiosity, inquisitiveness, problem-solving and creativity. Middle School students explorations’ of ecology, earth and physical science, human biology, chemistry and physics are related to pertinent math and engineering concepts. The integrated STEM approach allows students to discover connections between disciplines and develop more a comprehensive and holistic understanding of the world in which they live.
To coordinate, energize and advance STEM opportunities for all students and educators across Vermont that promote informed, creative and sustained problem solving, investigation and design practices.
At Vermont Tech, our STEM education is taught with applied, practical learning. Students spend much more time working in a laboratory environment and discovering new ways to use technology. Real-world projects offer students the chance to understand how science and technology can be used to solve problems, like water quality, carbon sequestration, or assistive devices for mobility.
The Woodstock Elementary School STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) Lab and Makerspace is an exploratory learning space that strives to infuse the STEM disciplines into the broader curriculum. We have established a science, engineering and design learning lab in its own dedicated space, preparing our students today with the critical thinking, designing, engineering and problem solving skills they need to fill the jobs of tomorrow!
