To that end we develop and deliver exciting, mentor-fueled, hands-on, STEAM programming in K12 classrooms in Northern New Mexico. We recruit and train college-age mentors, encourage K12 students to recruit mentors into their lives, and support K12 teachers through focused Communities of Practice. Our key partners are STEM Santa Fe, Los Alamos National Laboratory Foundation, The Computer Science Alliance, and Moving Arts Espanola.

The Center for Teaching Excellence serves the New Mexico Highlands University community by providing programming, resources and support for quality teaching and advising, and for the assessment of effective student learning. The center works in collaboration with existing professional development opportunities such as ARMAS and the Learning Communities to maximize resources and expand reach to more faculty. The primary goal is to help teachers help students be more successful. Teachers receiving training include faculty, adjuncts, GTAs and staff who teach.

We train students in the areas needed to be ready for research (computer programming, mathematics, critical thinking). At the end of this educational pipeline we offer to pay them to spend summers doing research.

The NMSGC works to inspire students in aerospace and STEM careers by offering educational opportunities, competitions, and scholarships.

Project ECHO for Education is designed to create a learning network where teachers from across New Mexico have the opportunity to help their students graduate from high school by: Accessing and share best practices; Receiving professional development from experts; and Benefiting from collaborative problem-solving about New Mexico’s school systems and its learners.

Join us for a week-long summer camp for STEM teachers (June 5-9) and students (June 26-30), during which you will get a primer on the fundamentals of computing, learn hands-on the oftentimes perplexing phenomena of quantum physics, and apply those phenomena to solve computing problems in new ways.

Rural Education Advancement Program (REAP) is a non-profit 501(c)3. REAP was established to bring STEM programs to K-12 students in rural locations who may not otherwise have access to STEM education. Further, REAP seeks to increase the number of under represented populations in STEM related college fields and, in turn, in STEM related careers. Finally, building leadership is an integral piece of student success in STEM. With this in mind, REAP's instructors are students, or former students, who have gained STEM knowledge and skills while in the program.

“We're excited to provide Albuquerque educators with the opportunity to explore the wonders of the cosmos, deepen their understanding of astronomy, and gain the tools and knowledge to engage and inspire their students to pursue a STEM career,”

The newly rebranded New Mexico Tech MechE Mayhem Robotics Education Program is an open-source comprehensive educational curriculum developed by engineering and science students at New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology to assist in the education of future NM STEM student. Our program seeks to provide engaging hands-on, STEM projects and classroom curriculum support to k-12 schools across the state of New Mexico. In the 2023-24 academic year we supported programs and events at 47 schools and engaged with over 6,000 students and teachers.

We seek to promote New Mexico's mission in increasing enrollment in STEM fields and outreach activities through starting a state and eventually nationwide “K-12 Drone-program at NMT”. New Mexico Tech in partnership with SystemGo New Mexico wants to improve education in America by inspiring students, teachers, and administrators within the present educational system. New Mexico Tech drone program would motivate and equip high school students to develop 21st-century skills and pursue careers in STEM disciplines. New Mexico Tech drone program (Team Drone New Mexico) will be a high-level STEM Engineering curriculum in which high school students in their junior and senior years will design and build different types of fixed-wing or multirotors Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) for well-defined missions.
