The Greening STEM approach is an adaptable framework for creating a series of integrated and holistic learning activities. The model bridges formal and non-formal approaches to STEM education. Greening STEM combines collaborative partnerships, real-world environmental challenges, and the best practices of place-based, three-dimensional, project-based, and community-based instructional strategies.

Whether you are an educator, a parent, or simply want to know more about environmental education, the Greening STEM Hub offers a collection of tools and resources that support using the environment as context for learning. Visitors can find case studies illustrating the various components of Greening STEM, download the Greening STEM Idea Journal for Educators or skim through a curated collection of Next Generation Science Standards aligned curriculum, lessons, and activities. Greening STEM aligns with all six key characteristics of high-quality EE materials outlined in Environmental Education Materials: Guidelines for Excellence.
