Virginia STEM: Inspiration through Integration

Virginia STEM continues to evolve. There are various models of how schools implement STEM. The STEM Advisory Board is working to align state efforts to ensure all youth have quality STEM experiences. As out-of-school-time educators and leaders, what can we do to provide the most equitable access to this deeper learning opportunity for all youth? Are there ways to help inspire youth to identify themselves as STEM capable and competent?
