We build connections for schools to local business, industry, & community organizations for real-world learning opportunities.
FieldSTEM Celebration
Across Washington State, teachers, administrators, and community partners are bringing FieldSTEM to life in classrooms, schools and outdoor spaces. On November 10, 2021, PEI celebrated those efforts at a virtual FieldSTEM Celebration which also honored amazing individuals and organizations who have been strong advocates of our work. The online ceremony featured awards in six categories, with highlights and videos from each winner. Click on the videos below to hear directly from these amazing individuals and how they bring FieldSTEM to life.
Congratulations to all the awardees!
