The Southeast Iowa STEM Region is one of six STEM regions of the Iowa Governor's Advisory Council. Southeast Iowa STEM is a collaborative effort—a partnership between the University of Iowa and Kirkwood Community College. We use the strengths of both institutions to help further our goal of expanding STEM interest and opportunities in the communities we serve.
Our Reach
The Southeast Iowa STEM Region covers: 66 school districts (including most of Grant Wood AEA, parts of Mississippi Bend AEA, and parts of Great Prairie AEA) and parts of 18 counties (Benton, Cedar, Clinton, Des Moines, Henry, Iowa, Jefferson, Johnson, Jones, Keokuk, Lee, Linn, Louisa, Muscatine, Scott, Van Buren, Wapello, and Washington).
Public school districts in the Southeast Iowa STEM Region have an enrollment of 129,000 K-12 Students (Oct. 2011 Dept. of Education Certified Public Student Enrollment). We also serve the Iowa State Extension & Outreach Offices, home-school associations, parochial schools, Boy/Girl Scouts troops, and childcare facilities located throughout the region.
