About the Award

The Global E-STEM Awards are back and once again recognizing excellence and innovation in E-STEM with awards up to $50,000 USD!

Does your organization engage students aged 11 to 22 in STEM topics, equipping them with the knowledge, skills, and motivation to take action to advance climate change solutions, sustainable energy, or sustainable transportation? If yes, we invite you to apply for the Global E-STEM Awards! The Global E-STEM Awards are presented by Pratt & Whitney in collaboration with NAAEE.

This awards program supports promising programs that build and use STEM knowledge and skills in environmental learning and problem solving. Preference will be given to nonprofit organizations working with underrepresented audiences in STEM and using partnerships to boost their impact.

What is E-STEM? E-STEM engages students in meaningful, real-world environmental problem-solving that integrates science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). E-STEM is not only a philosophy of teaching that promotes interdisciplinary learning, but also inspires students to apply what they learn to help solve complex environmental issues.
