vision

The North Country Stem Learning Network fosters collaboration and innovation among all community resources to empower diverse learners with 21st century skills for educational and career success.

Mission

     1) Energize and focus community resources
    2) Design, develop, and implement STEM learning experiences
    3) Demonstrate innovative, sustainable STEM learning experiences
    4) Transferable STEM experiences for economic vitality and exceptional quality of life.

Purpose: The Empire STEM Network seeks to prepare a skilled workforce to meet the growing demands of business and industry and to secure America’s place as a leader in our global society. Tomorrow’s workers, regardless of position or job, must be problem solvers, critical thinkers, collaborators and life-long learners. These skills must be embedded in all curricula at all grade levels from pre-school through college. Multiple opportunities must be afforded students to apply these skills to real world problems in multidisciplinary and cross-disciplinary environments that challenge them to take risks, spark creativity and reward divergent thinking.
