The Materials in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math Workshop (M-STEM, formerly the National Educators Workshop) 2016 will be held November 6–8, in Tulsa, Okla.

M-STEM brings together students, faculty, and businesses to strengthen understanding of STEM principles, especially relating to materials science, and to enhance K–20 technology education integration. In addition to oral presentations and posters, the workshop offers opportunities for industry tours, three-day training strands in solids or additive manufacturing, and peer-reviewed publication for current and future reference.

A unique feature of M-STEM is hands-on, interactive learning that engages students and teachers. The workshop offers assistance to instructors in evaluation and course assessment methods, new materials technologies, roadmaps and methods for development of new materials courses, and direct means for introducing materials concepts into existing courses.
