Partnering for Excellence: Innovations in Science + Technology + Engineering + Math(STEM)  Education, an online collaborative competition, will spur creative ways for companies, universities, and other organizations with expertise in the STEM fields to partner with the public schools that need their talent. Carnegie Corporation of New York, The Opportunity Equation and Ashoka’s Changemakers are looking for models that bring STEM expertise into public schools, thereby using resources from the private and not-for-profit sectors in new ways to further student learning. Compelling entries will embed shared accountability for student achievement for both the partner organization and the school in their design. Winners are eligible for more than $120,000 in cash and in-kind prizes.

Entries will be accepted online at http://www.changemakers.com/stemeducation until August 3, 2011, and can draw from partnerships that bring STEM talent to students and teachers or can reflect new, innovative ideas or programs.

Beginning on September 28, 2011, the Changemakers online community will vote for their favorite entry, the People’s Choice Award, from a slate of approximately eight competition finalists. The panel of independent judges will also select two finalists as winners of the Judges’ Award. Winners of all of the prizes will be announced on November 16, 2011.
