STEM Hubs
What are STEM Hubs?
STEM Hubs serve as dynamic centers of collaboration and innovation within the MOMENTUM initiative, bringing together diverse stakeholders to enhance STEM education opportunities within local communities. Originating from a bold vision to introduce STEM experiences to every neighborhood, STEM Hubs aim to inspire and equip students for success in our STEM-rich world.
These hubs provide a platform for stakeholders, including educators, community leaders, businesses, and parents, to collaborate on initiatives that promote STEM learning and engagement. By pooling resources, sharing best practices, and fostering strategic partnerships, STEM Hubs create a supportive ecosystem where students can explore, learn, and thrive in STEM disciplines. Through regular convenings, workshops, and outreach activities, STEM Hubs empower communities to address challenges, leverage opportunities, and collectively work towards equitable and inclusive STEM education for all.
About North Tulsa STEM Hub
The North Tulsa STEM Hub is a collaborative effort to improve STEM outcomes for students in North Tulsa. Historically, community organizations in this area have faced challenges accessing funding, information, and resources for meaningful STEM experiences. The North Tulsa STEM Hub aims to address this disparity by providing backbone support and fostering a collaborative, inclusive coalition of individuals and organizations dedicated to STEM education in the McLain High School feeder pattern.
About Central Tulsa STEM Hub
Similarly, the Central Tulsa STEM Hub, serving partners within the Central High School feeder pattern of Tulsa Public Schools, focuses on enhancing STEM opportunities for students in Central Tulsa. By leveraging partnerships and resources, this hub aims to empower students and educators to excel in STEM fields and prepare for future success.
