That Works for Every District
12 public school districts. A shared vision. One regional infrastructure built to support student success and community prosperity.
STEM is a Regional Strategy.
Not Just a School Program.
Sustainable STEM education requires coordination across districts, alignment with industry, and shared infrastructure that no single district can build alone. That's exactly what IU29 provides.
We work alongside administrators — not for administrators — to help you build the STEM capacity your community needs and your students deserve.
