Prairie STEM is here to help teachers engage their students without adding any more to their already full plates. We work with individuals, schools, districts to help customize curriculum and lesson plans for immediate use and impact. Through workshops on location as well as offsite learning centers and online resources, Prairie STEM is there to support those who dedicate their lives for the betterment of kids in their classroom as well as education in their region. We also provide professional development and graduate level credit (STEM certification and college credit teaching certification) for enrolled teachers in our continuing education program.
Working with district administrators and partnering with local and national companies, Prairie STEM provides access to industry, expert level mentors, virtual and actual internships with early and high frequency STEAM innovation challenges and activities for all students. We work with local and national foundations to help bridge funding gaps to meet the needs of those who need it most. We use a train-the-trainer model to equip teachers in their districts to work independently as well as collaboratively to enhance education and promote sustainability. We measure program impact and analyze strengths and weaknesses in customized program delivery to show real-time metrics for district partners and regional stakeholders.
Working directly in partnership with Industry, Prairie STEM sees itself as a bridge connecting the jobs of today/tomorrow with the skilled workforce of the future. We work collaboratively with our industry partners to implement customized solutions to help kids not only learn what current employers are looking for in talent acquisition but also the soft skills needed to succeed in jobs where everyone already has the hard skills. We are a listen first organization that recognizes the needs of local and regional companies by working with schools, teachers and students to directly impact those needs through relevant coursework and lessons that relate back to industry demands. Students in the Prairie STEM program are exposed to not only the best tools in technology but more importantly are looking to those individuals and mentors within those corporate citizenship programs as key influences in their lives and future careers. Early exposure and high frequency engagement between education and industry is the key to regional economic success. Without our industry partners, we are leaving kids behind.
