New York State STEM Education Collaborative

What New York State STEM Education Collaborative does

New York State STEM Education Collaborative, Inc. is a New York–based nonprofit collaborative established in January 2009 and formally incorporated in November 2017. It operates as a coalition of four discipline-specific professional associations: the Association of Mathematics Teachers of New York State (AMTNYS), the New York State Society of Professional Engineers (NYSSPE), the New York State Technology and Engineering Educators' Association (NYSTEEA), and the Science Teachers Association of New York State (STANYS). Its stated mission is to define and promote the scope and integration of STEM education as a statewide and national model, anchored in a working definition of STEM education that utilizes the NYS MST Standards.

The collaborative's core products are programmatic rather than software-based. It hosts an annual multi-day STEM Summer Institute (most recently the 2023 event offering up to 17 CTLE Professional Learning Hours at SUNY Alfred State College of Technology), runs the annual Margaret Ashida STEM Leadership Award across PreK-5, 6-12, Higher Education, and STEM Workforce categories, and operates the Empire State STEM Learning Network — a statewide structure of 10 regional councils covering all major New York regions. It is a member of the multi-state STEMx coalition and interconnects messaging with STEMConnector for national visibility.

The business model is nonprofit and operates without publicly disclosed revenue streams, pricing, or headcount. The organization is governed by co-presidents and officers drawn from its founding member associations, with no venture or parent-company ownership. Distribution is event-driven and community-led, with grassroots reach through the regional council network. Pricing of its professional-development events is not publicly disclosed, and there are no disclosed customer logos, enterprise contracts, or paywalled offerings. The organization functions as an advocacy and convening body rather than a commercial enterprise.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• STEM Education Coalition: National advocacy coalition that raises awareness in Congress and the Administration about STEM education's role in U.S. competitiveness. Comparable because both organizations are policy/advocacy focused coalitions mobilizing stakeholders to influence STEM education funding and standards.
• STEM Ecosystems Initiative: A national initiative built on a decade of research into successful STEM collaborations, seeking to nurture and scale STEM learning opportunities. Directly comparable because both the Initiative and the NYS Collaborative convene multi-stakeholder STEM learning networks spanning schools, businesses, and community organizations.
• STEMConnector: A national organization that connects STEM education stakeholders across states, including via state networks like NY's. Directly comparable because both organizations serve as conveners and amplifiers of statewide STEM initiatives at the national level.
• STEMx Network: A multi-state network of state STEM learning networks; NY STEM is a member. STEMx is directly comparable as it provides the same kind of statewide STEM coordination and advocacy platform that the NYS Collaborative delivers at the state level.
• Teaching Institute for Excellence in STEM (TIES): National nonprofit focused on STEM school design, curriculum, and instructional support to schools, districts, and states. Comparable because TIES operates in the same STEM education advocacy and PD space, partnering with schools and educators to advance STEM integration.
• SECME (Southeastern Consortium for Minorities in Engineering): A multi-state STEM education consortium originally founded by engineering deans at southeastern universities, serving schools and tech businesses across 16 states. Comparable because SECME operates a multi-state STEM education coalition model similar to the NYS Collaborative's statewide network of regional councils.

Broad incumbents

• National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM): The world's largest mathematics education organization with 60,000 members and 230+ Affiliates. Comparable as a broader incumbent providing teacher PD and advocacy in one of the STEM disciplines the NYS Collaborative covers, but operating nationally and single-discipline.
• National Science Teachers Association (NSTA): The largest U.S. organization committed to promoting excellence in science teaching and learning, with 55,000 members. Comparable as a broader incumbent that overlaps in STEM teacher PD, advocacy, and large-scale annual conferences, though NSTA is single-discipline (science) versus the NYS Collaborative's integrated STEM model.
• International Technology and Engineering Educators Association (ITEEA): The professional organization for technology, innovation, design, and engineering educators, promoting technological literacy. Comparable as a broader incumbent covering the technology/engineering half of STEM teacher PD, of which NYSTEEA is a state affiliate.

Emerging players

• Lemelson-MIT Program: MIT-based program celebrating inventors and inspiring youth in STEM through national grants initiatives for grades 7-12. Comparable because it operates in the same STEM engagement and educator support space, with national grants programs that intersect with the NYS Collaborative's K-12 STEM advocacy work.
