The 2025 Oregon STEM Week site features K-2 and 3-5 mini lessons on Artificial Intelligence (AI), resources for secondary teachers on AI, and links to daily STEM activities from previous years’ STEM weeks. Oregon STEM Week is a collaboration of the 13 STEM Hubs throughout Oregon. New resources will be added each year to help celebrate Oregon STEM Week.

The Artists’ Gallery Sunriver in conjunction with the Sunriver Lodge and Betty Gray
Gallery are sponsoring an art challenge for this coming school year. The contest is
open to all students from grades 4-12 in the tri-county area. Public school, private
school and home school students are welcome to apply.

We are a network of 30+ partners representing education, health care, public lands, recreation, and conservation. Together, we work to connect kids to nature through learning, exploration, and play.

We focus strongly on equity and inclusion, helping to connect underrepresented communities to impactful experiences in nature.  We recognize that not all kids have equal access to the outdoors, and not everyone feels safe and welcome in outdoor spaces.  We believe that the health and wellbeing of children, families, and communities improves when all people connect to the outdoors.

The Oregon Open Learning Hub is Oregon’s K-12 open educational resource (OER) repository. The Oregon Open Learning Hub was launched in May 2020. The Hub continues to grow and now contains over 1,000 resources that have been authored or curated by Oregon educators. In November of 2022, the Hub launched the Oregon Collections section with the first collection made up entirely of resources created and evaluated by Oregon educators. We look forward to seeing this section of the Hub expand!

Oregon’s regional STEM Hubs are coming together to bring engaging, hands-on science and engineering learning ideas to educators across the state!  Hands on science can be challenging to do  and STEM Bites are designed to help.  Each “Bite” can be done at home, in a classroom, or in a program space.  Bites primarily use simple materials that classrooms and families already have or can readily acquire.

Blending evidence-based best practices, cutting-edge technology, and customized solutions, we work with school districts, entire states, government entities, corporations and others who share our belief in the transformative power of STEM.

The mission of the USA Science & Engineering Festival is to stimulate and sustain the interest of our nation’s youth in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) by producing and presenting compelling, exciting, and educational STEM events and programs!

Access FREE lessons and videos designed for middle and high school students.

OSTA is a state chapter of the National Science Teaching Association comprised of Oregon teachers who are interested in all levels of science education. Our purpose is to encourage, promote, and assist in improving science teaching and learning throughout Oregon. 

The mission of OCSTA is to increase the number of Computer Science and engineering programs in Oregon in order to give our students the opportunities  for a work and college ready diploma upon graduation.  This lofty goal requires partnerships with all who share this mission.

A variety of computer science and maker education PD curricula to inspire your teaching and build capacity.

Select courses include an offer of free kits and curriculum licenses for public school teachers to support student learning.

Courses offer instructional lessonas that any educator – even with no prior computer science experience – can stream into the classroom.

On-demand content for educators working with Latinx students; instructional lessons for neurodiverse students; and empowering content for girls in STEM.

Are you ready for this year’s NASA TechRise Student Challenge? This competition provides a hands-on opportunity for participants to gain critical skills in engineering, computing, electronics, and more that will be required for America’s technical workforce. If you are in sixth to 12th-grade at a U.S. public, private, or charter school – including those in U.S. territories – your challenge is to team up with your schoolmates and develop a science or technology experiment idea for one of the following NASA TechRise flight vehicles:

• Suborbital-Spaceship with approximately 3 minutes of microgravity.
• High-Altitude Balloon with approximately 4 to 8 hours of flight time at 70,000 to 95,000 feet and exposure to Earth’s atmosphere, high-altitude radiation, and perspective views of our planet.

Participate in the 2025-26 Architects in Schools season! Every year we update our program to better serve students, assist teachers, and engage volunteer design/building professionals and college design students. Continue scrolling to learn about the ways in which teachers and volunteers can participate in our free program.

An Architects in Schools residency can take many forms, including but not limited to:

• A six-week, six-session residency where the design/building professional visits the classroom for one hour per week (our most popular residency format!)
• A two-day workshop where the design/building professional visits the classroom for a couple hours over two consecutive days
• An hour-long career presentation by a design/building professional
• A three-week, three-session residency where the design/building professional engages students virtually while they are together in one classroom
• A four-week, four-session residency where the design/building professional engages students virtually while they are also virtual
• And more!

Oregon Council of Teachers of Mathematics promotes a comprehensive, collaborative mathematics community to support educators in implementing effective and engaging practices for the teaching and learning of mathematics for all students.

Our membership is open to all mathematics educators in and outside the state of Oregon and all grade levels, Pre-K to College.

We are the Oregon affiliate of The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM).

My NASA Data (MND) was started in 2004 as a project to make NASA Earth Data
more accessible. The goal is to help educators teaching Earth Science to use NASA assets. The website – https://mynasadata.larc.nasa.gov/ provides resources from a variety of NASA visualizations.

• Maps, Graphs, and Data
• Interactive Models including Story Maps
• Lesson plans, mini-lessons, visualization tool, and other digital assets

Resources are organized by Earth System phenomena. Includes Career Connections and Connections to GLOBE.

Oregon Department of Education defines Career Connected Learning (CCL) as a framework of career awareness, exploration, preparation and training. Career learning develops over the course of one’s lifetime. To support this process, CCL ensures purposeful instruction and engages diverse communities in building collaborative, community-driven learning. CCL connects the interests, aptitudes, education and goals of every Oregon youth to their future.
