Registration is OPEN! The STEM-OPS (STEM Opportunities in Prison Settings) NSF INCLUDES Alliance is holding its 2022 Annual Convening October 25- 27 in St. Louis, MO. This in-person event will bring together researchers, practitioners, educators, and community leaders who work at the intersection of the carceral system and STEM. Information and ideas will be shared via expert panels, concurrent sessions, and roundtable discussions on topics such as: 
  • Launching and leading STEM college-in-prison programming 
  • Establishing mentoring, internships, and other supports for currently or formerly incarcerated students in STEM fields
  • Supporting inclusive hiring of justice-impacted individuals in STEM careers
