Each year in February, the Alamo STEM Ecosystem, co-led by IDRA and SAMSAT, brings together teachers and pre-service teachers from across the San Antonio area for a free, one-day conference dedicated to STEM excellence in the classroom.

San Antonio is home to a wealth of STEM-focused organizations and industries offering cutting-edge tools, programs, and partnerships for educators. This conference connects teachers at every stage of their careers with innovative local resources, helping to inspire the next generation of STEM leaders.

This event is designed for K-12 educators, pre-service teachers, administrators, higher education faculty and community-based STEM advocates. Sessions will engage participants in hands-on, practical experiences and foster collaboration that educators can take back to their classrooms or programs.
