Record number of students in Iowa to participate in STEM
The Iowa Governor’s STEM Advisory Council anticipates more than 125-thousand students in Iowa will benefit from the STEM Scale-Up Program in the 2023-24 academic year.
The STEM Scale-Up Program provides educators and students throughout the state with access to some of the best available STEM educational opportunities from across the country. More than 13-hundred educators are signed up to deliver one of 13 selected programs offering high-quality STEM education and experiences for pre-K through 12th grade students and educators in school, after school, and in other educational settings.
This is the highest number of program recipients since the program launched in 2012 with a nearly 200 percent increase in applicants from the first year.
