We begin with onsite visits and work with schools and/or district leaders to develop and implement a plan for STEM education.
Developing Partnerships
Partnering with industry leaders, higher ed, and community leaders helps to enhance learning opportunities for students and teachers.
Our Vision
STEM Happens Network (SHN) is committed to providing coaching support to schools and districts in order to transform the implementation of integrated STEM curriculum across the content areas, preparing students with the skills necessary to be successful at every level of their academic journey and in life.
Our Mission
To partner with schools and districts to develop a common definition for STEM as it relates to practice and learning. SHN builds the capacity of schools and districts through creating integrated STEM instruction across the content areas. Alongside schools and districts, SHN will support the development of an interdisciplinary STEM professional learning community that enhances a cohesive teaching and learning environment, providing students with opportunities to gain experience with real-world applications that lead to a trans-disciplinary culture. SHN believes this creates a lever to implement a culture of change within schools and districts, providing true college and career readiness for students.
65% of the jobs of the future don't exist today and the majority of them will involve a STEM-related background.
We are committed to providing educators with the support needed to provide students with a quality STEM education. SHN was founded in August 2016 and since its inception, SHN has reached...

The Tennessee State University SMART Innovation Technology Center (TSU SMART Center) is a state-of-the-art facility that promotes digital literacy, innovative technology, and workforce-ready skills for learners ranging from PreK through lifelong learning programs. It provides technology training, online and distance learning opportunities, collaborative workspaces, and AI-focused education resources to prepare students, educators, and community members for success in a digital world.
The National STEM Honor Society's mission is to inspire innovation and recognize student excellence from "K to Career" in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. In our interconnected global landscape, a substantial void exists between the growing need for STEM-proficient professionals and the availability of career-ready, STEM-focused students.
