STEM Week is a statewide effort to stimulate interest, awareness, and ability for all learners to envision themselves in STEM Education and employment opportunities. The theme for the second annual statewide STEM Week is "See Yourself in STEM". Each school planned project-based interdisciplinary STEM activities. #MASTEMWeek
