Bringing STEM careers to life
STEM Like ME!® is an innovative career exploration program developed by The STEM Foundation, based in Washington’s Mid-Columbia region. Snohomish STEM uses the name and model with their permission.
Career exploration programs broaden students’ awareness and perceptions of STEM careers and the coursework and skills necessary to pursue them. First piloted in 2014, STEM Like ME!® has served more than 31,000 students state-wide. In 2016, STEM Like ME!® was recognized by Governor Jay Inslee as one of the state’s 21 best practices for career connected learning.
We provide turnkey solutions with program design, scheduling, volunteer recruiting, training, background checks, and recognition all handled by Snohomish STEM staff, taking the burden off teachers and ensuring a quality experience for volunteers, teachers, and students.
Currently, Snohomish STEM offers the Explore program from the STEM Like ME!® suite.
