2023–2025 · Coordinating a partner network of STEM/STEAM programs for schoolchildren and students

STEM Alliance

The STEM Alliance brings together the STEM/STEAM initiatives of TransforNATION and its partners into a unified platform — with a shared development logic rather than a scattered set of events. The approach goes beyond classrooms and labs: STEM is integrated with the arts and the humanities and social disciplines to build holistic thinking rather than narrow technical competence.

The platform brings together the IFGIC innovation contest (partner: InventFuture.Global), the Auyl Innovation Teacher program for training rural teachers (partner: CodiPlay), Samsung Solve for Tomorrow (partner: the Ayala Foundation), and engineering competitions — from a student team building a race car for the Formula SAE world championship to national leagues of racing drones.

The alliance's shared methodology is continuous evaluation of program effectiveness through participant feedback, investment in developing teachers' professional skills, and a long-term logic of partnership among educational institutions, business, the startup community, and the state.

The STEM Alliance is an infrastructure layer sitting above TransforNATION's individual STEM competitions: a single entry point for schoolchildren, teachers, and partners who want to join any of the programs.
