Vermont's ESTEAM Network (VEN) will always be a work in progress.
Its vision is to realize a Vermont where all her STEM participants have synergistically converged to create an inspired STEM community.
Its
purpose is to promote "ESTEAM" for
Entrepreneurship,
Science,
Technology,
Engineering,
And
Math in a TEAM setting unique to Vermont by identifying
every STEM resource available to Vermonters in the state and selected STEM resources available to them outside the state.
Its mission is to provide a single-stop site whereby a current or potential Vermont student (any age), guidance counselor, teacher, professor, employee, employer, legislator, or any other class of Vermonter can quickly identify the ESTEAM resources most relevant to his/her particular query at the time. At some point, it is hoped that it will be developed into a more visually appealing website, but for the time being, building it to have thoroughness, functionality, and utility are the driving forces.
Its objective is to encourage Vermont residents, or those desiring to be so, to consider all the ESTEAM resources available to them within the state before searching elsewhere. Vermont has a unique cachet that makes it desirable as a place to live, learn, work and play. It also has a heritage of developing the innovative and entrepreneurial spirit from the early pioneers who had to make do with what limited resources they had on hand, to the precision tool manufacturing industry that triggered the industrial revolution, to the current-day entrepreneurial start ups that are growing rapidly.
It is comprised of the following major ESTEAM search topics:
STEM Academic Programs (post secondary)
STEM Advocacy Programs
STEM Career-Employment Opportunities (including trade schools)
STEM Competitions
STEM Educational Opportunities (short term)
STEM Entrepreneurial Opportunities
STEM Grants and Scholarships
STEM Professional Organizations
