Grant Overview

Wyoming's Native American communities face significant barriers to STEM education and career opportunities. On the Wind River Reservation, for example, students have limited access to advanced math and science courses, and there is a shortage of Native American role models in STEM fields. To address this challenge, Wyoming is investing in STEM education programs tailored to Native American reservations. Target Outcomes in Wyoming include increasing the number of Native American students pursuing STEM degrees and careers, and improving the cultural relevance of STEM education on reservations. Why These Outcomes Matter in Wyoming: The state's tech industry is growing, but Native American representation is limited. By incorporating cultural relevance and hands-on learning experiences, Wyoming's STEM education programs can increase Native American participation in the tech workforce. Wyoming's Native American Reservations: The Wind River Reservation is home to the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho tribes, and faces significant economic development challenges. Unlike neighboring Montana, Wyoming's Native American reservations are more sparsely populated, requiring tailored approaches to STEM education. Implementation Approach: Successful applicants will be required to partner with local Native American communities and incorporate cultural experts into program design. Wyoming's Office of Indian Affairs provides resources and support for tribal-state partnerships, which can be leveraged by applicants to inform their programs. The state's Department of Education also provides guidance on culturally responsive education, which can be used to inform program development. Wyoming's frontier county designation requires demonstration of extreme rural delivery capacity, making it essential for applicants to understand the state's unique geographic and demographic context. By focusing on STEM education and career pathways, Wyoming can build a more diverse and inclusive tech industry that benefits the state's Native American communities.
