Arizona STEM Ecosystem

Connecting the STEM Community in Arizona and Beyond

Regional STEM Hubs

The overall Arizona STEM Ecosystem is broken down into smaller community-based networks called STEM Hubs. These Hubs bring together everyone in a community – including students, educators, local businesses, afterschool programs, nonprofits, libraries, museums, government organizations, and more to connect and collaborate around STEM and STEM education. Getting involved in your local STEM Hub is a great way to meet potential collaborators, expand your network, and learn about STEM events, resources, and opportunities in your community.

Each STEM Hub meets virtually every quarter for STEM Town Halls, where attendees share about what they’re doing, work on collaborative projects, and network with other STEMists in their region. Want to get involved with a Hub? Check out options nearest you below!
