Recognizing Exceptional Educators
State-wide

The Seventh Delaware STEM Educator Awards

STEM educators, advocates, and leaders gathered together on November 4, 2021, to recognize the most innovative and dedicated STEM educators working in The First State today through the Seventh Delaware STEM Educator Awards. The Delaware STEM Council and the Delaware Foundation for Science and Mathematics Education (DFSME) hosted the ceremony in a hybrid format from Buena Vista Country Estate in New Castle. Ashland is proud to continue our sponsorship of these special awards and we congratulate all of the nominees and winners.

All first place award winners in each category receive an unrestricted cash prize of $6,000, as well as free access to all parks in the Delaware State Park system.
