STEM Drives Community & Economic Development “The Boston region is an ecosystem that shares our aspirations.” Mr. Jeffrey Immelt/ CEO of GE “The area is crowded with 55 colleges and universities, including research centers like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard and Northeastern University. G.E. said it was also attracted by the area’s thriving venture capital and start- up community… Only about 200 will be corporate staff, G.E. said, while the remaining 600 will be mainly “digital industrial product managers, designers and developers” in a variety of disciplines including data analysis, life sciences and Fortune 100 Companies increasingly prefer proximity to higher ed than Wall Street. robotics.” From the NY Times 1/14/16 Visit us at www.stemecosystems.org Follow us on Twitter @STEMecosystems Engage in the conversation #stemecosystems

What It Takes- Checklist 1st Stage: (Threshold) Anchor/project leader Do they have capacity…Admin support/funding It’s all about the Architecture/System!! 2 nd Stage: (Demonstrate Success) Start Small Identify defined area/region to start Enlist the right Key Partners onto the bus Engage in “community design”…build buy -in, consensus & commitment Create Logic Model/Implementation Plan 3 rd Stage: (The Work) Launch the ecosystem work (demonstration) Have a SMART Focus Recognize it’s a “slog” Share successes and challenges, internally & externally 4 th Stage: Replicate/Expand
1st: “THE SLOG” The Evolution of a STEM Learning Ecosystem Synergy Collaboration Coordination Cooperation Networking Coalesce like- Share vision and Increase number Develop network Agreed upon minded partners goals of effective STEM infrastructure goals and programs objectives Exchange funding Discuss common Shared funding information strategies and Provide more Respect for all Shared goals and objectives opportunities for enlightened self- Share grant- objectives program support interests making Begin to build Increase number and PD information trust among Established and of effective STEM partners Begin to think sustainable Identifying programs about network network resources Provide Provide more infrastructure infrastructure opportunities for opportunities for program support Commit to some Funding done program support and professional common goals with conscious and PD development and objectives impact on others Begin linkages and the system between in & out itself of school learning Communities of platforms Practice operate independently Established linkages between in & out of school
