WM STEM Educators’ Council
The WM Symposia, Inc., (WM) Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Educators’ Council supports educators as they prepare students for potential careers in the nuclear industry.
The Council provides its members with a venue to network, share best practices, and access resources such as subject-matter experts, teaching materials, and classroom enhancements. Initial funding to set up the Council was provided by a $10,000 STEM grant from Fluor.
Educators’ Council membership is open to U.S. and international educators in K-12 as well as higher education, in both traditional and non-traditional environments.
To apply for membership in the Educators’ Council or to nominate someone, please complete the WM STEM Educators’ Council application.
