Over the last decade, the total number of STEM teachers prepared across the country has been dropping and the demand for a STEM-prepared workforce continues to grow. Where will that workforce come from if students don’t have qualified STEM teachers in the classroom?
UTeach programs are in 53 universities across the nation, preparing skilled STEM teachers who build enthusiastic STEM students who enter the workforce. Supporting the growth of UTeach programs creates a strong STEM workforce.
The UTeach STEM Educators Conference is the yearly incubator for connection and innovation with 300+ university faculty and staff, UTeach alumni teaching and leading in K–12 schools and districts, UTeach students, and higher education leaders.
Your sponsorship is an opportunity to connect with a premiere national network and influence the future of STEM teaching and learning. Your support of high-quality educator development has never been more consequential.
Take this opportunity to support our work as a sponsor or exhibitor for the UTeach STEM Educators Conference, May 19–21, 2026.
