Creating Critical Thinkers and Increasing Science Literacy

Education in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) has been a national priority for several years. Beyond our school systems, many  museums are also working to provide STEM learning opportunities for their communities. Here's how we're inspiring the Great Lakes Bay Region's next generation of innovators.
