Bright Spots: STEM East

The STEM East network is a collaboration across 12 counties in eastern North Carolina. The network works to make sure students have opportunities to engage in STEM learning that connects to career opportunities and needs. After-school and summer programs, local museums, area businesses, and others all partner together to deliver services.
