Our Mission

The Kummer Center for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Education provides equal access and opportunity to underserved, underrepresented, and rural communities in Missouri. 

We strive to achieve equity and inclusion for underrepresented students in STEM related fields and bring engaging STEM experiences to PK-12 students either on-campus or at their school through collaborative partnerships with school districts and S&T faculty, staff, and students. Through innovative STEM experiences and teacher training, we will widen the pipeline of diverse STEM educators and professionals.
