Educator Professional Learning Program (STEM Studio) (TGR Foundation)

I’ve had a great experience, and what I really like about the STEM Studio is that it's providing educators with an accessible way to teach STEM content in a world where there are a bunch of constraints like time, curriculum and money. I absolutely loved STEM Studio. I'm going to be bringing all the activities back to my classroom. – Educator

Connectivity

Network Connectivity 

The following network map, known as a sociogram, displays the frequency of the partner’s interactions over a 6-month period (August 2025 to January 2026). Thicker lines represent interactions in which the partner interacted daily or weekly. Thinner lines represent interactions in which partners interacted monthly, twice per month, or quarterly or less. Colored circles represent STEM education partners (blue) and hub leads (green). The accompanying bar chart shows the distribution of the partner’s connections across interaction frequencies. 

TGR Foundation reported interacting with 22 other partners.

Most of TGR’s reported interactions with other partners occurred twice a month or monthly.
