PAEMST is the highest honor bestowed by the United States government specifically for K-12 STEM teaching and is administered by the National Science Foundation (NSF) on behalf of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP).
This fall, they opened their 7-12th grade application cycle with the goal of recognizing teachers from all over the country. The priority of the PAEMST program continues to be ensuring that teachers from all backgrounds and schools are recognized for their efforts both in and out of the classroom.
