My involvement in the STEMx Network has been instrumental in shaping my work at Southeast Service Cooperative and advancing career-connected learning across Minnesota. Through STEMx, I’ve built meaningful partnerships with leaders in other states, replicated national best practices—such as the Pitch Competition model—and leveraged resources to support both nonprofit and statewide initiatives. The advocacy and convening work led by STEMx has also directly influenced Minnesota’s ability to establish and sustain a legislatively funded STEM network. STEMx continues to be a catalyst for systems building at the intersection of STEM education, CTE, workforce development, and policy.
