2021-2022 AWARDEES
Thousands of students will have access to high quality STEM programs thanks to the Great Lakes 
Bay Regional Alliance, and funding by Nexteer Automotive and East Central Prosperity Region MiSTEM Network.
The STEM Access and Equity Project provides learning opportunities that go beyond standard classroom activities. The primary goals of the project are to mitigate STEM access and equity challenges for at-risk students across the region, increase family engagement in STEM, and to improve math and science outcomes aimed at growing talent within our cradle-to-career framework.
