When did you realize you wanted to teach?
What lit that spark and what has kept you going? The New York City STEM teaching community grows by inviting and welcoming in new teachers, and by supporting existing teachers in growing and uplifting their expertise.
At our celebration in 2026 we will uplift the pathways that support our new teachers and the potentials for the profession that we see on the horizon. We will hear from teachers, mentors, programs and partnerships that have nurtured the early years and supported ongoing learning across the professional continuum.
