We will have participants from sectors that include: K20+ and Informal STEM Educators, STEM program developers and directors, STEM non-profits, museums, government agencies, and STEM Advocates.
Exhibitor Expectations: One motivator of the team that leads this project is the desire to push the envelope using research for Rural STEM Learning. With that in mind our agenda will be focused on research to practice projects, support and advocacy, STEM Workforce development, and collaborations. Attendees over the last three years have expressed interest in relationship building, culturally and regionally focused hands-on activities, and advocacy support. To facilitate this the Exhibitor fee includes the following:
1. 1 paid registrations including meals during the Summit. Additional registrations are available at the regular Summit price *.
2. All exhibitors will have access to a 6-foot table in the exhibit hall (power is included, but limited, please contact Kal for details).
3. All exhibitors signed up prior to Friday, August 15, 2025 will be included in an exhibitor page on the Summit Website and included in the Summit collateral and marketing materials.
