The Arkansas Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Coalition brings Arkansas businesses access to future talent. The STEM Coalition guides educational priorities to align with business needs in the state.
The STEM Coalition advocates the recruitment and retention of highly effective STEM teachers in order to promote student interest and performance in all phases of learning. We work to increase public awareness of the importance of STEM related skills to enhance lives and the economy wile forging partnerships with business and institutions to share valuable experience and ideas.
Through Arkansas’s ongoing Computer Science Initiative, Arkansas K-12 students actively engage in a superior and appropriate computer science education. STEM Coalition members comprise a significant portion of the Arkansas Computer Science Task Force.
The Arkansas STEM Coalition collaborates with Walmart’s Arkansas initiative for Million Women Mentors, focused on engaging 5,000 Arkansas STEM mentors to increase the interest and confidence of girls and women to persist and succeed in STEM programs and careers. Kickoff events in eight cities across the state have already taken place.
Students can enrich their understanding of engineering through a variety of Robotics Programs that AR STEM Coalition promotes, including Arkansas First, Best Robotics, the Botball Educational Robotics Program, FIRST LEGO League Arkansas, the Regional Autonomous Robotics Circuit Competition (RARC), and the VEX Robotics Competition. Take a look at our extensive Robotics resources here.
