California: Build a District-Wide STEM System

A practical framework for California district leaders to move from isolated STEM pilots to scalable, system-wide implementation.

Led by Hope Thompson, an experienced education specialist, the webinar explores over 35 hands-on programs for after-school, out-of-school time, and summer initiatives in K-12 settings. Overview

Most districts don’t struggle to start STEM programs.
They struggle to scale them across schools in a consistent, sustainable way.

This webinar is designed for district-level decision makers who are evaluating how to move beyond one-off initiatives and build a STEM system that works across diverse schools, teachers, and student populations.

You’ll leave with a clear model for implementation, not just ideas.

What You’ll Learn

  • Why most STEM programs fail to scale across districts

  • The structural barriers specific to California schools

  • The 4-layer model for building a scalable STEM system

  • What implementation looks like from pilot to district-wide rollout

  • How to reduce dependency on specialized STEM teachers

  • How to ensure equity across different school environments

Who This Is For

  • Superintendents

  • Assistant Superintendents

  • CTE Directors

  • STEM / Innovation Coordinators

If you're responsible for district-wide strategy, implementation, or program adoption, this session is built for you.

Why Attend

  • Get a clear, operational framework, not theory

  • Understand how to scale across multiple schools without breaking your system

  • Learn how to align STEM with workforce pathways in technology and sustainability

  • Avoid common implementation mistakes that cause programs to stall

What Makes This Different

This is not a product demo.
This is a district-level implementation model based on real constraints:

  • limited teacher capacity

  • uneven infrastructure

  • pressure for equity

  • need for long-term sustainability

Register to learn how to build a STEM system that works across your entire district, not just one school.
