What It Takes- Checklist1st Stage: (Threshold)
Anchor/project leader Do they have capacity…Admin support/funding It’s all about the Architecture/System!!
2nd Stage: (Demonstrate Success) Start Small Identify defined area/region to start Enlist the right Key Partners onto the bus Engage in “community design”…build buy-in, consensus & commitment Create Logic Model/Implementation Plan
3rd Stage: (The Work) Launch the ecosystem work (demonstration) Have a SMART Focus Recognize it’s a “slog” Share successes and challenges, internally & externally
4th Stage: Replicate/Expand

STEM Network Structures
Gov’t Top-down
• Stakeholders are "selected"
• Operational Funding dependent on legislative support.
• Programmatic funding may be mix of public and private.
• Prescriptive• Political
Example: DE, OR, WA, CO
Funder/Business
• Stakeholders are invited
• Respects enlightened self-interest
• Broad focus, often w workforce outcome goals
• Partners with nonprofits to deliver programming
Example: OC, TRSA, SFN, Great Lakes, LA
Higher Ed
• Think Tank approach
• Career pathway & workforce focus
• Mix of public and private funding
• Narrower focus• Challenge in
bringing in OST, PK12
Example: OSLN, Empire STEM,STEM-X sites
Intermediary
• OST often leads• Stakeholders are invited • Group consensus• Primarily grant funding• Distributed leadership model often with hubs.• Challenge bringing K12 & workforce•Example: NC, Indiana, PASA, NYC, BOS
PK-12
• Critical player, but most structurally challenged
• Strong parental engagement
• OST partnership• Challenge in
bringing in Biz, private funding
Example: Tampa, Empire STEM, Ventura, Evanston

STEM Drives Community &
Economic Development
“The Boston region is an ecosystem that shares our aspirations.”
Mr. Jeffrey Immelt/ CEO of GE
“The area is crowded with 55 colleges and universities, including research centers like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard and Northeastern
University. G.E. said it was also attracted by the area’s thriving venture capital and start-up community… Only about 200 will be corporate staff, G.E. said, while the
remaining 600 will be mainly “digital industrial product managers, designers and developers” in a variety of disciplines including data analysis, life sciences and
robotics.”From the NY Times 1/14/16
Fortune 100 Companies increasingly prefer proximity to higher ed than Wall Street.
