October 2024 Newsletter: Grounding the Work, Expanding the Reach

The STEM PUSH Network convened almost 40 pre-college STEM programs in Pittsburgh for its bi-annual sharing and networking event. The theme, Roots and Branches, focused on deepening and institutionalizing the work (roots), and expanding STEM PUSH’s reach and impact (branches).
