Working Together to Transform Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Education in the Portland Metro Region.
Portland Metro STEM Partnership (PMSP) collaborates with public and private organizations to create an engaging, rigorous, and equitable P-20 STEM educational system that increases access for EVERY student to high-demand, high-wage STEM careers while building shared economic and social prosperity.
The Partnership believes that the skills developed through experiences in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) – such as curiosity, critical thinking, careful observation, research, analysis, problem-solving, persistence, and adaptation – are exactly what people need to thrive in our increasingly complex, data-driven, evidence-based world, whatever their chosen career or life direction.
Our collective vision is that all students are able to follow their passions into productive and rewarding careers, creative endeavors, and civic & community engagement. As a regional STEM Hub in Oregon, the Portland Metro STEM Partnership’s critical function is to convene and connect organizations, programs, and people to move towards this vision. PMSP’s programs and projects unite a diverse network of partners throughout the region, including five school districts, K-12 schools, community-based organizations, higher education, and industry.
By working together to identify needs and pursue strategies that transcend the interests of any one organization or sector, we can have a greater collective impact on our students’ future than any one entity or sector could have alone.
