Theme: “Collective Agency: Empowering Students and Educators as Catalysts for STEM Innovation”

Join school leaders from across the nation for three transformative days dedicated to reimagining how we cultivate agency throughout our STEM learning communities. This year’s summit explores the powerful intersection where student empowerment meets educator innovation—creating educational ecosystems where everyone becomes an agent of meaningful change.

In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, tomorrow’s challenges will require more than technical proficiency; they demand creative problem-solvers who can navigate complexity, drive innovation, and lead collaborative solutions. Our STEM schools are uniquely positioned to develop these capacities—but only if we move beyond traditional models that limit agency to a select few.

This year’s Leadership Summit invites you to explore how collective agency—distributed across students, educators, administrators, and community partners—creates the conditions for transformative STEM education.

We will collectively reimagine how agency—intentionally cultivated and equitably distributed—can transform STEM education into an engine for innovation and impact.
