Developing a Blueprint for E-STEM Success

E-STEM : Linking Environmental Education with Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math

In 2013, NAAEE was awarded a research grant by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) to explore integrating environmental education into STEM learning for young people, focused on what we call “E-STEM” (Environment, Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). In addition to UL support, California Water Service Company supports this effort in California.

As a result of this planning grant, in collaboration with our research partner, New Knowledge, we summarized research about what is “known” to engage young people in STEM, using the environment as an integrating concept. 

This strategic document, the Blueprint for E-STEM Success, includes a synthesis of the research survey results and ideas for how UL can support efforts in both schools and communities to enhance E-STEM, with a special emphasis on science, technology, and the environment.
