STEM Ecosystems Collaborate at Denver Convening

On October 17-18, representatives from all 36 Ecosystems met in Denver to share best practices and advance the Community of Practice. Highlights included a robust conversation on the importance of computer science education for all, Ecosystem presentations on E2E success stories, Practice Group meetings and an interactive communications workshop. We were also honored to hear from keynote speaker Marc Morial, President and CEO of the National Urban League, who spoke about opportunities to ensure greater equity in STEM access and quality across communities.
