We inspire a future-ready STEM workforce.
In today’s technology-driven world, Wisconsin—and the nation—face a growing challenge: declining student performance and participation in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math), leading to a critical talent shortage. STEM Forward addresses this gap through programs, events, and outreach that inspire local youth to explore STEM careers while connecting businesses with the talent they need. With a 120-year legacy and strong partnerships with educators and employers, we are uniquely positioned to equip the next generation of innovators, problem solvers, and leaders.
As we celebrate over 120 years of impact, we honor our rich heritage and look ahead with enthusiasm. We invite you to join us in celebrating this remarkable milestone and shaping the future of STEM together by getting involved! Learn more at www.stemforward.org/anniversary-campaign.
