The STEM PUSH Network is working to leverage the power of pre-college STEM programs to strengthen our nation’s STEM workforce through targeted work on the high-school-to-college admission transition point.
STEM PUSH convenes free, STEM-intensive, out-of-school time pre-college programs from across the United States.
STEM PUSH pre-college STEM programs engage in the improvement network to strengthen their programming. We use a research-based infrastructure for improvement to inform collective learning. This Learning Engine is accredited by Middle States Association (MSA-CESS) as a Learning Services Provider.
STEM PUSH is conducting a longitudinal study to determine the impact of these pre-college STEM program experiences on student enrollment and persistence in STEM in higher education.
All STEM PUSH Network pre-college STEM programs work to strengthen along our quality standards.
Built around these quality standards, STEM PUSH partnered with Middle States Association to build a “next-generation accreditation system” that recognizes program quality and continuous improvement.
STEM PUSH is reinventing the relationship between pre-college STEM programs and college admissions by working with admissions offices at colleges and universities along with organizations involved in the college admissions process.
STEM PUSH hopes to better understand how pre-college STEM program experiences can support in student admissions processes and overall undergraduate trajectories.
