Support Portland Metro STEM Partnership
Help us ensure every student — from preschool through high school — has access to high-quality, engaging STEM learning that opens doors and expands possibilities.
Who We Are:
Portland Metro STEM Partnership is a pre-college program department within the Maseeh College of Engineering and Computer Science at Portland State University, and one of 13 Regional STEM Hubs in Oregon. That statewide network exists for exactly this purpose: to ensure that where a student grows up never determines what they get to learn.
Who we serve:
Our region spans five school districts — Banks, Beaverton, Hillsboro, Forest Grove, and Portland Public Schools — and is home to nearly 20% of all Oregon students. We serve as a bridge between K–12 schools, out-of-school programs, community-based organizations, industry, and government — connecting the people and resources that make equitable STEM education possible
What we do:
Portland Metro STEM Partnership (PMSP) is a pre-college program at PSU that provides a full range of free supports to our school and community partners: STEM activity coaching, professional development, curriculum development and support, course and program support, access to our lending library of equipment, and STEAM programming — and that's just the beginning. We meet educators where they are and help them bring rigorous, culturally responsive STE(A)M to every learner, especially those who have historically been underserved.

Our Positive Impact
"This is the best day I have ever had in science" - 6th Grader, Beaverton School District
“Math is not normally fun, or interesting, to me. These projects help me see why math is important.” - 7th Grader, Portland Public Schools
“Because of these experiences, I am now the site technology coordinator for my building and one of our school’s STEAM coaches. PMSP has brought more opportunities and connections than I ever could have imagined. With their support, our school began hosting a STEAM Night and partnering with local businesses and community organizations to bring assemblies and guest speakers to our students.” - Educator, Hillsboro School District
“There's just no other organization out there that does the work they do. We all agree STEM education is important, but very few districts actually do anything about it. The PMSP really does a ton to advocate for the STEM education our students need, and to connect teachers with the resources they need to teach STEM.” - Educator, Beaverton School District
