A network of STEM leaders engaged in our work in support of a vibrant and diverse generation of young STEM professionals.
The NSTMF recognizes the value of inspirational stories within the STEM community. For many years, our primary goal was to share the stories of the top minds in science and technology with the public. Today, we have expanded our mission to not only highlight great scientists and technologists but also actively engage these individuals to help build inclusive STEM communities across the United States. Fundamental to these communities are the significant, inspirational connections we foster between the individuals who have received national recognition for excellence in STEM and future members of the STEM community.
When you become a member of the NSTMF’s Expert Connect community, you are offering your insight and subject matter expertise to students across the country. There is a broad spectrum of ways in which you can participate. Our goal with this program is to build a network of STEM leaders who want to stay informed about our work and support a vibrant and diverse generation of young STEM professionals.
