This event is one of many events held in support of New Jersey STEM Month. From 2015-2017, New Jersey hosted an annual New Jersey STEM Week to promote the state’s commitment to STEM excellence. In 2018, in recognition and celebration of New Jersey’s world-class STEM economy, March was declared the inaugural New Jersey STEM Month. This year, Governor Murphy, via gubernatorial proclamation, and Assemblyman Zwicker, via legislative ceremonial resolution, have again, designated the entire month of March as New Jersey STEM Month.  Last year, nearly 8,500 learners across New Jersey engaged in STEM Month activities.

“New Jersey STEM Month and WT Schools District STEM Expo '23 showcase the diversity and reach of STEM education, workforce and innovation in this state.” said Kim Case, Executive Director of the Research & Development Council of New Jersey and Manager of the New Jersey STEM Pathways Network.  “Our goal this year is for 35,000 learners to be impacted and we appreciate all of the work of the New Jersey STEM community in helping us to achieve that goal.”

The month-long observance highlights the Garden State’s strong presence and accomplishments in STEM, including its industry, academic, government and non-profit sectors.
