Participation in the STEM PUSH Network will support the continuous improvement of your programming while creating a mechanism to benefit your students’ postsecondary pathways.
Local and regional STEM ecosystems will serve an important role in this work by identifying additional PCSPs in their urban area and connecting PCSPs involved in the STEM PUSH Network with equity-focused higher education institutions, educational organizations, and corporations committed to broadening the participation of underrepresented groups.
Local and regional STEM ecosystems can also provide opportunities for STEM PUSH Network participants to share their learning with the entire local or regional ecosystem. As the accreditation process develops, local and regional ecosystems will help to brand the process with higher education institutions to create market demand for both PCSP participation and institutionalization in admissions.

Last week, our network members participated in a book study with @RelationshipGAP's Black, Brown, Bruised: How Racialized STEM Education Stifles Innovation. The book examines the experiences of Black & Brown students & faculty who found success in STEM. #STEMequity #STEMeducation
Students who are part of @pittbiooutreach's Gene Team, a pre-college STEM program affiliated with STEM PUSH, worked through the pandemic on fascinating projects. Check out the work here. #STEMequity #diversifySTEM http://ow.ly/RaIp50GvGLK
One of our partner programs at @CCAS_NEIU works to ensure that underserved students have some of the same advantages of their more privileged counterparts. #STEMequity #STEMeducation. http://ow.ly/sMqM50Gsmb3
This NSF INCLUDES Alliance is funded by NSF Inclusion across the Nation of Communities of Learners of Underrepresented Discoverers in Engineering and Science (NSF INCLUDES), a comprehensive national initiative to enhance U.S. leadership in discoveries and innovations by focusing on diversity, inclusion and broadening participation in STEM at scale. It is also co-funded by the NSF Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers (ITEST) program and the Advancing Informal STEM Learning Program (AISL).
