2024 Washington STEM Summit Luncheon
At our 13th annual Washington STEM Summit Luncheon, we brought together over 300 dedicated leaders from across the state to connect on priorities in education and imagine the future for our students.
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2024
11:30am-1:30pm
Microsoft Conference Center, 16070 NE 36th Way, Redmond, WA, 98052
During this extended lunch program and networking opportunity, we:
- Honored Governor Jay Inslee and the STEM Education Innovation Alliance.
- Hosted the panel discussion: “Catalyzing STEM Education for Transformation, Innovation, and Empowerment.” A panel of top thinkers from education, public policy, and industry discuss how to mitigate threats and leverage opportunities in STEM teaching and learning, such as generative AI.
- Celebrated Rising Stars in STEM, eleven high school students from across the state who represent the next generation of STEM talent. From monitoring bighorn sheep populations in the Okanogan to repairing cars in Longview, these students use STEM learning to better themselves and their communities.
- Joined us as we announce our 2024 Legislators of the Year. We recognized lawmakers championing legislation that opens doors to STEM education for all students.
We are grateful for Microsoft’s longstanding partnership and the ability to bring key stakeholders together to meet in-person. We also met with our regional STEM Network partners, community and education leaders, and agency partners prior to coming together for the Summit Luncheon.
