GEORGIA+STEM+CONNECTION

Connecting Georgia's STEM ecosystem.

Georgia is full of organizations creating opportunities in science, technology, engineering and math. The challenge isn't always creating something new. Sometimes it's making what already exists easier to find, connect and navigate.

We Create Tech is helping do exactly that.

Led by We Create Tech
connect the dots.
More than a directory.

The opportunities are here. The challenge is connecting them.

A STEM ecosystem connects the different places where people learn, build, work and discover opportunity. That can include:

SchoolsHigher educationNonprofitsIndustryGovernmentFundersLibrariesMuseumsAfterschool programsWorkforce organizationsCommunity organizations

The power isn't that one organization does everything. The power is that different organizations bring different pieces.

A school needs an industry partner.
A student needs a summer opportunity.
A nonprofit needs more visibility.
An employer wants to reach emerging talent.
An educator needs a resource.
A funder wants to see where opportunities and gaps exist.
Often the resource already exists.The connection doesn't.

No one organization has to do everything. We just have to make it easier to find each other.

That's how the opportunity divide starts to close. Not by building everything from scratch, but by making sure students, families, educators and employers can actually find what's already here, and by showing where the gaps are.

Our role

We don't need to run everything. We need to help connect it.

01CONNECT

Help organizations, educators, employers, families, students and opportunity providers discover one another.

02CONVENE

Bring people across sectors together to exchange information, identify needs and build relationships.

03MAP

Make Georgia's STEM organizations, programs, resources and opportunities easier to discover.

04AMPLIFY

Help strong opportunities reach the people and communities that can benefit from them.

WCT will keep delivering its own STEAM programs and serving emerging technologists directly. Our ecosystem work extends beyond those programs. It helps make the broader landscape more connected.

This isn't Georgia's first chapter.

Georgia has done this before.

2018

The Atlanta STEAM Learning Ecosystem

Joined the national STEM Learning Ecosystems Community of Practice and connected organizations across metro Atlanta around STEM and STEAM learning.

Since then

That ecosystem is no longer active.

Its work is part of Georgia's ecosystem history, and it showed what's possible when organizations here work together.

2026

A new chapter

WCT is participating in the 2026 New STEM Ecosystem Cohort and looking at what it could take to connect Georgia's STEM landscape statewide.

Same state.New chapter.Bigger map.

As WCT participates in the 2026 New STEM Ecosystem Cohort, we're looking at what Georgia has already built, what exists today, where connections can be strengthened, and what a more visible statewide landscape of STEM opportunity could look like.

Our mapping visionStatewide

Statewide mapping is about visibility. It doesn't mean WCT delivers programs across the whole state.

Building with a national community.

We're not figuring this out alone.

We Create Tech is participating in the 2026 New STEM Ecosystem Cohort with the national STEM Learning Ecosystems community.

Communities across the country are building STEM ecosystems of their own. The cohort gives us a place to learn from them, share what's happening in Georgia and bring what works home.

Where we're connected so far.

Every ecosystem starts somewhere.

We're starting with the relationships, organizations and communities already connected to WCT. This is not yet a complete picture of Georgia's STEM landscape. That's the point. Help us build it.

Map ≠ Partnership.

Being on the map doesn't mean an organization has a formal relationship with WCT, and it isn't an endorsement. It means the organization is part of Georgia's STEM landscape.

FAQ

Good questions. Straight answers.

Is this a new WCT program?

No. WCT continues to run its own programs. This work focuses on helping connect and make visible the broader STEM landscape across Georgia.

Is WCT claiming to own Georgia's STEM ecosystem?

No. A STEM ecosystem is made up of many independent organizations. WCT's role is to connect, convene, map and amplify.

Did Georgia have a STEM ecosystem before?

Yes. The Atlanta STEAM Learning Ecosystem joined the national STEM Learning Ecosystems Community of Practice in 2018. That ecosystem is no longer active. WCT's current work builds on Georgia's broader history of ecosystem collaboration while looking toward a statewide landscape.

Is this the same as the Atlanta STEAM Learning Ecosystem?

No. This is a separate effort led by We Create Tech. It isn't a continuation or replacement of that ecosystem. We honor that work as part of Georgia's ecosystem history.

Do I have to partner with WCT to be on the map?

No. Any eligible organization can submit its information for review.

Does being on the map mean my organization is a WCT partner?

No. Formal WCT partnerships are identified separately.

Does being listed mean WCT endorses an organization?

No. Map inclusion means the organization has been identified or reviewed as relevant to Georgia's STEM landscape based on available information. It does not mean certification, endorsement or partnership.

Who can be included?

Any eligible organization contributing STEM learning, career, workforce, education or community opportunities in Georgia may submit its information for review.

Is this only for Atlanta?

No. The mapping vision is statewide.

Does that mean WCT provides programs across all of Georgia?

No. The reach of WCT's direct programming and the scope of ecosystem mapping are two different things.

How can I add, correct or remove information?

A map can show more than locations.

It can help us ask better questions.

What exists+Where it exists+Who it serves+What's missing=Better questions.
Better connections.
  • Where are STEM opportunities concentrated?
  • Which counties have fewer visible resources?
  • Which age groups have strong programming?
  • Where are career-connected opportunities available?
  • Where are organizations doing similar work but not yet connected?
  • Where could investment or collaboration help close an opportunity divide?

We can't answer all of these yet. Every organization added to the map makes the picture clearer.

Build it with us.

Georgia doesn't need one organization to do everything. It needs what already exists to connect.
