Global STEM Education Symposium

 Our signature annual event is the Global STEM Education Symposium. The first five symposiums were hosted at prestigious institutions, including the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Raytheon, and the Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering. Since then, all events have been held at the Harvard University Graduate School of Education. The 11th Annual Symposium on Global STEM Education was held on Friday, May 24, 2019, marking the 6th consecutive Symposium co-sponsored and hosted by the Harvard University Graduate School of Education. The ongoing, year-round planning for the Global STEM Education Symposium is managed by the Global STEM Education Conference Committee, chaired by Larisa Schelkin, CEO of Global STEM. 

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have transitioned to hosting all our events virtually from 2020 to 2024. This shift has allowed us to continue engaging with our global community while ensuring the safety and well-being of our participants. By leveraging online platforms, we’ve been able to expand accessibility and participation in our events, bringing even more educators, students, and leaders together.
