STEM SHOWCASE

Each year, the New Jersey STEM Pathways Network (NJSPN) and the Research & Development Council celebrate NJ STEM Month with a ‘STEM Showcase’ at the State House in March.

The STEM Showcase offers legislators and other policymakers the opportunity to meet with students, a diverse group of organizations, and business and school leaders to learn about their STEM initiatives.

In addition to the in-person STEM Showcase, organizations across the state are given the opportunity to submit an entry to be featured in our virtual STEM Showcase booklet that highlights the work they’ve done in STEM in the past year.
