Northern Virginia STEM Learning Ecosystem: December 2023

About us:

About us: The Northern Virginia STEM Learning Network was established by Virginia Tech in 2007 as an informal network of STEM educators, maintained by Virginia Tech's DC Area Technical Education and Workforce Development Team. It became a formal part of the DMV Ecosystem in 2021 until that ecosystem grant expired in 2024. In October 2025 we received national recognition for our ecosystem and were now building the architecture to accomplish our goals. Please join us. STEM@vt.edu or Workforce@vt.edu
