2024 STEM Summer Institute


The Science Math Resource Center partners each summer with School Services of Montana to offer a three-day Professional Development Conference for K-12 Montana teachers to expand their knowledge and understanding of STEM disciplines and access STEM resources for the classroom.

Montana educators travel from across the state to attend the conference on the MSU-Bozeman campus and enjoy keynote speakers, break-out workshops, networking opportunities, and exhibitions.

The 2024 event saw 175 educators, exhibitors, presenters and amazing keynote speakers.

Although the 2024 event has passed, you can still access the conference website and get great ideas on how you might participate next year as a presenter, attendee or exhibitor.


    Many thanks to MSU's Applied Quantum CORE for gold sponsorship of this event!

Participant Testimonials

“The 2022 Montana STEM conference was fantastic. I really learned a lot of practical ideas that I can take back to the classroom. The instructors were very knowledgeable and helpful and I found a renewed interest in Science that I had lost as a student, years ago. I look forward to attending again and letting others know about this great opportunity.”  - Charlie Struna, Missoula County Public Schools Middle School Librarian & 8th grade Math teacher

“This STEM conference was top notch! There were so many great resources and activities that I will take back to the classroom this year. I highly recommend this professional learning for all K-12 teachers.”  - Lynette Conrad, 1st grade teacher, Anderson School
