STEMconnector®, "the one-stop shop for who's doing what in science, technology, engineering and math", has joined the Festival's growing cadre of Sponsors, bringing to the event a proven ability to keep professionals, students and the public abreast of STEM news and updates across a broad spectrum.
"STEMconnector® is proud to be a partner for the USA Science Festival as we support and endorse the largest gathering in the world celebrating science and engineering," says Edie Fraser, CEO of STEMconnector.

STEMconnector® -- a consortium of companies, nonprofit associations, government entities, and academic institutions actively working to promote STEM education and careers in the United States -- will support broad-based participation of its members and partners at the Festival, says Edie. "We will use our STEMdaily® [the organization's daily news aggregator] and our social media for major outreach daily. Our communications team will work diligently to cover Festival activities and put them up on our site," she adds.
