RSVP for STEMteachersNYC 2026 Celebration of STEM Teaching & Community

STEMteachersNYC, Science Council of NYC, and the Lehman College School of Education invite you to join in a celebration of STEM teaching, learning, and community. Join us March 14th 2026 for a celebration of those who contribute to and strengthen the professional learning landscape of experiences we value.

When did you realize you wanted to teach? What lit that spark and what has kept you going? The New York City STEM teaching community grows by inviting and welcoming in new teachers, and by supporting existing teachers in growing and uplifting their expertise. At our celebration in 2026 we will uplift the pathways that support our new teachers and the potentials for the profession that we see on the horizon. We will hear from teachers, mentors, programs and partnerships that have nurtured the early years and supported ongoing learning across the professional continuum. We will share the best in career-long professional learning and mentorship that have supported our growth as STEM teachers. Come share your vision, your experience, and your expertise! NEW TEACHERS and TEACHING CURIOUS are very welcome!

The morning will begin with coffee, pastries, and an inspiring group of STEM providers showcasing their interactive work in the main exhibit hall. We will then kick off a selection of hands-on workshops from SCONYC, led by amazing K-12 STEM teachers in our community. After a catered lunch and more time with our exhibitors we will begin our keynote speakers sharing stories of individual, community, and partnership support they have experienced and created for teachers over the years. The afternoon will expand into smaller breakout rooms and collaborative panel discussions focused on community bridge building, pathways for new teachers and career changers, transformative peer mentorship, growth as teacher leaders, successful partnerships, and much more. We will close the event with an awards ceremony, coffee and dessert.

The future of the profession belongs to teachers, faculty and cultural institutions that nurture and support the next generation… and each other! Join us in celebrating - and innovating - together!
