This study provides key information about the participation in and impact of various STEM programs on students and educators and is used by educators, Iowa’s six regional STEM managers, and the Governor’s STEM Advisory Council to improve STEM programming. In partnership with the University of Northern Iowa’s Center for Social and Behavioral Research and the Iowa Testing Program, this project tracks indicators related to STEM in Iowa, Iowan’s knowledge about STEM, and attitudes and achievement of students in STEM subjects.
