The new coronavirus, COVID-19, is affecting many students’ learning, triggering state-wide school closings and shifting classes to online settings. Because of this, we have compiled a list of educational resources for at-home learning.
Virtual STEM Showcase
Every March for NJ STEM Month, the NJSPN highlights STEM programs to New Jersey policymakers via a STEM Showcase at the State House in Trenton. In light of the pandemic and not being able to meet in-person, we created a showcase book highlighting organizations across the state that have worked tremendously to support STEM learning. To not miss this opportunity, we decided to put together a virtual STEM Showcase to highlight the incredible work of these organizations. We are excited to announce that our 2021 Virtual STEM Showcase is officially available. We hope you enjoy!
Using data to drive all objectives and
achieve our mission, NJSPN:
Aligns resources to scale and replicates promising practices.
Identifies learning opportunities by convening New Jersey’s STEM experts.
Promotes STEM career pathways by training state leaders and creating deeper public awareness of opportunities available in the
