Symposium Nov. 14 to advance STEM education, workforce development Megan M Rogers Tue, 10/21/2025 - 13:18

In a time of rapid change and uncertainty, ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ�� Center for STEM Learning (CSL) invites the Boulder community to join a powerful gathering of educators, industry professionals, students and community advocates at STEM Together 2025, a free symposium dedicated to advancing STEM education and workforce development.

Held on Friday, Nov. 14, from 3 to 7 p.m. at the Limelight Hotel’s Flatirons Ballroom in Boulder, this immersive event is designed to foster meaningful collaboration, spark new ideas and energize a community committed to building a stronger STEM future.

If you go

Who: Educators, industry, students, workforce developers, community members, change agents, advocates, more
What: STEM Together 2025
When: Friday, Nov. 14, 3–7 p.m.
Where: Limelight Hotel, Boulder Flatirons Ballroom

“Our goal is to strengthen STEM education and workforce development through community-driven collaboration and action,” said center Managing Director Bradley David McLain. “With a focus on countering anti-science rhetoric and empowering the next generation of scientists, the event underscores higher education’s critical role in addressing global challenges—from climate change to public health.”

The agenda features a dynamic mix of expert insights, interactive discussions and a poster session showcasing the breadth of work in STEM education research and transformation across ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ�� and the community. Attendees will hear from leaders in quantum and AI education, award-winning educators, policy influencers and STEM pioneers. The event will also launch CSL’s new STEM Action Affiliate Program, offering pathways for sustained collaboration and regional impact beyond the symposium.

Keynote speakers include Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser, former dean of the Colorado Law; and Marielena DeSanctis, chancellor of the Colorado Community College System and former president of the Community College of Denver. Their perspectives will help frame the symposium’s focus on adapting to the evolving STEM landscape and driving collective action.

In a special moment of reflection, CSL will honor the legacy of Jane Goodall (1934–2025) with a memorial tribute recognizing her lifelong contributions to science, education and advocacy. Goodall collaborated with the CSL and shared a more than 20-year friendship with McLain, who also served on the Board of Directors for the Jane Goodall Institute. At the time of her death, the pair were working on a film together—a retrospective on her identity journey since becoming a scientist, then activist, then internationally recognized messenger of peace and hope.

Registration is free and open now. Attendees are also encouraged to submit posters or videos showcasing their work or ideas. Learn more and register.
