Since 2022, UNM Taos HIVE has collaborated with STEMarts Lab, providing its tech incubator space for our bootcamps and training events. Additionally, they serve as a networking partner, sharing our vision to enhance tech and digital literacy skills in rural communities while creating innovative workforce opportunities for youth.
Taos Hive empowers Northern New Mexico community members and businesses to thrive in a digital economy. Taos Hive is dedicated to fostering community, facilitating healing, and empowering individuals to reach their full potential through educational and entrepreneurial opportunities.
Since 2014, STEMarts Lab has been partnering with QuarkNet to offer in person workshops where QuarkNet provides expert instructors for hands-on particle physics sessions, complementing our art-making workshops.
The mission of QuarkNet is empowerment through Particle Physics: QuarkNet is dedicated to fostering a community of educators and students passionate about particle physics. We provide cutting-edge resources, professional development, and collaborative opportunities to inspire curiosity, critical thinking, and lifelong learning.
ATLAS Experiment at CERN has been partnering with STEMarts Lab since 2013 through a collaboration with Dr. Steven Goldfarb. They provide science advisors, speakers and lead virtual visits to CERN. They engage and inspire the global community with the excitement and wonder of particle physics exploration, fostering appreciation for the fundamental nature of our universe.
The ATLAS experiment at CERN is one of the largest and most complex particle physics experiments ever constructed. It is located at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s most powerful particle accelerator. The primary goal of the ATLAS experiment is to explore the fundamental nature of matter and the forces that govern the universe.
Q Station has been partnering with STEMarts Lab since 2021 providing access to a network of space professionals that serve as speakers, instructors and collaborators in STEMarts projects. The coworking space in Albuquerque serves as a hub for innovation and collaboration. STEMarts Lab is a partner of the Space Valley Coalition.
Q Station Tech Incubator envisions a dynamic ecosystem where visionary ideas thrive, leading to groundbreaking solutions that address global challenges. By nurturing creativity, diversity, and excellence, we aspire to position Albuquerque as a hub of innovation and a beacon of technological progress.
The Very Large Array has been a partner since 2021, through STEAM manager Dr. Summer Ash, who hosts our annual field trip to the facility, serving as a speaker, and collaborating on STEMarts immersive installations to communicate the science.
NRAO envisions a future where humanity’s exploration of the universe knows no bounds. By leveraging state-of-the-art radio telescopes, pioneering data analysis techniques, and fostering a diverse and inclusive scientific community, we aim to unlock the secrets of the cosmos and inspire the next generation of astronomers and innovators.
STEMarts Lab has been partnering with Future Focus21c co-founder, Anita McKeown, since 2012 as curriculum advisor and collaborator. In 2023, Future Focus21c implemented and expanded on the Space Messengers curriculum in their classroom. We are excited to see how it evolves!
Future Focus21c utilizes creative strategies in place to provide deep learning through tangible, practical evidence-based activities. By developing and harnessing learners’ and educators’ creativity for innovation and transferable innovative thinking, we facilitate ‘tooling up for the 21st Century’. Our educational approach and resources are Ireland’s only cross-curricular, place-based STEAM education, with SDG-aligned projects, and inquiry-based learning resources that have been developed and tested under research conditions.
Partner Stories
It has been a privilege working with STEMarts Lab, the other advisors, ambassadors, teachers, and especially the students, all these years. Seeing the progress they make during the program and, in some cases, from year to year, is encouraging and energizing. Interacting with the participants teaches me to clarify the role of fundamental research in society in my own mind and their enthusiasm gives me optimism for the future of our planet.
Working with STEMarts has opened my eyes to a whole new world of scientific creativity, thought, data visualization, science communication, and – perhaps most importantly – ways of engaging with students of all ages. I am so impressed with the innovative infrastructure of the program and how STEMarts has created a space for these young, brilliant women to feel safe and excited in pursuing their ideas and asking their questions, as they work to understand the deepest mysteries of our universe in unique and thoughtful ways.
