In related news, thanks to a generous grant from the Tennessee Department of Education, Tennessee residents can enjoy a reduced ticket price for the 2020 Tennessee STEM Innovation Summit. The event will take place on May 4 & 5 at the Music City Center in Nashville, Tennessee.
The occasion will mark the celebration of the Tennessee STEM Innovation Network's tenth anniversary as they explore the history of innovation and envision the future for STEM in Tennessee.
Billed as the state’s premier annual STEM event, the Tennessee STEM Innovation Summit brings together leaders, innovators, and champions from across the state that are united by a passion to advance excellence in STEM education for all Tennesseans.
More than a decade ago, the Tennessee Department of Education partnered with Battelle Memorial Institute, a private nonprofit applied science and technology development company headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, to launch the Tennessee STEM Innovation Network.
According to the website, the network focuses on “kindergarten to jobs” and is developing high-quality STEM programming to further ensure Tennessee students are prepared for success in college and career and ready for the future of their choosing. The Network works to increase student interest and participation in STEM fields across the state.
