"STEMIE is a new education framework that elevates youth invention and entrepreneurship education to a core part of K-12 education. STEMIE stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math linked to Invention and Entrepreneurship (STEM+I+E) and maps essential unstructured problem-solving teaching activities to core STEM curricula and standards. The STEMIE framework also allows for the standalone teaching of invention and entrepreneurship outside of STEM – enabling all kids to learn life-long critical thinking and problem-solving skills. The STEMIE goal is to train every child in every school once, better twice, in invention and entrepreneurship skills" (STEMIE). The website highlights the annual National Invention Convention/Entrepreneurship Expo (NICEE) and other events, provides information about their education programs, and has a blog featuring news related to STEMIE.
