STEM Certificate Program For Educators
Empower your students through hands-on, inclusive STEM learning
STEM doesn’t have to feel intimidating — or reserved for “tech teachers.”
At Maryville, we believe every educator can bring science, technology, engineering, and math to life through creative, accessible, and equitable teaching.
The STEM Certificate Program helps you gain the confidence, tools, and strategies to weave real-world STEM learning into your classroom — no matter your subject area or grade level.
You’ll earn your certificate through engaging, hands-on projects guided by expert educators who actually get what it’s like to be in today’s classrooms.
