Center for Science and the Imagination | The Arizona STEM Acceleration Project: Building Tomorrow's STEM Workforce @imagineASU | Uploaded June 2024 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
The Arizona STEM Acceleration Project (ASAP) at Arizona State University (https://stemteachers.asu.edu) empowers teachers across the state of Arizona to impart high-quality STEM education to their students. Arizona is poised to be a hotspot for technological development over the next decade, with significant investments from leading global tech companies. However, Arizona's students are underprepared to take advantage of these opportunities, and that is linked to a shortage of STEM educators in the state. ASAP bridges that gap by supporting teachers: providing funding to purchase classroom supplies, offering professional development opportunities, building a free online lesson plan database, and creating a strong statewide community of teachers.
