The Lancaster County STEM Alliance is a loosely coupled group of individuals, organizations, and groups that share the following vision for STEM.
This vision has several key components that guide our work:
Becoming a hub for STEM literacy means that we aspire to be a center for STEM innovation and leadership in Pennsylvania. As we attract and retain visionary job creators, Lancaster County will be a locale that draws visionary businesses and helps them to flourish. We will create local STEM talent by inspiring learners of all ages to embrace a culture of inquiry and achievement. By engaging all of our citizenry, we will build upon the diverse strengths of all members of our community and work toward economic and social equity for all individuals who reside in Lancaster County.
In order to achieve our vision, we have diligently pursued the six strategic priorities identified by STEM thought leaders in Lancaster County:
