In 2024, Tulsa Regional STEM Alliance continued its unwavering commitment to inspiring and empowering Oklahomans through transformative STEM education initiatives. Fueled by the strength of over 260 collaborative partnerships and the tireless dedication of more than 450 volunteers, we achieved significant milestones in expanding STEM access and engagement across the state. We proudly empowered 843 educators with valuable professional development opportunities, equipping them with innovative tools and enriching resources to cultivate engaging and effective STEM learning environments for their students. Furthermore, our Mentoring program, encompassing impactful initiatives like Me and My Math Mentor, Space Week, and Women in STEM, facilitated over 2,782 hours of meaningful guidance and support, shaping the future pathways of countless young learners.

Recognizing the critical need for equitable access, we awarded a substantial $107,950 in grants to schools and nonprofit organizations statewide, directly bolstering high-quality STEM programs and ensuring opportunities for all youth to explore and excel in these vital fields. These collective efforts culminated in an impressive delivery of over 191,000 engaging STEM experiences for Oklahoma youth throughout the year, demonstrating the powerful impact of collaboration and dedication in fostering a brighter, STEM-enabled future for Tusla and the state of Oklahoma.
