Indy STEM Alliance

Through its Center for Vibrant Schools, the Indy STEM Alliance was launched in partnership with Marian University and Project Lead The Way to create a collaborative network of K-12 schools, higher education, industry partners, and non-profit entities in central Indiana to develop STEM interest and skills that prepare students for success in the modern workforce and support the long-term vitality of the community with a STEM-ready workforce.

Coming Soon – Landscape Review

Indiana currently practices what we call “random acts of STEM”—isolated efforts that, while impactful, lack coordination across the state. The Indy STEM Alliance is conducting a comprehensive landscape review of STEM supports, services, and experiences available to K-12 students in Marion County and the surrounding counties.

The findings will be published as a publicly accessible heatmap, helping families, schools, and community partners identify opportunities, close gaps in access, and strengthen collaboration and coordination.
