STEM All-Star Opportunity
Do you know a student who stands out for their hard work, dedication to education, and love of learning? Nominations are now open for the 2025 STEM All-Stars! Each year, six students from North Dakota schools are selected as STEM All-Stars in recognition of their hard work, commitment to education, and passion for learning. These students are nominated by educators who see their potential and dedication firsthand.
