Liberty Science Center has been chosen to serve as the lead agency for the Liberty STEM Alliance, a STEM ecosystem created by the New Jersey STEM Pathways Network with the mission of increasing knowledge of and participation in STEM services throughout Hudson County.

Partners of the Liberty STEM Alliance include Jersey City Public Schools, Stevens Institute of Technology, and local corporations who will work together to serve as a central information hub on STEM services available to youth, adults, educators and families in the local area.

Quarterly meetings will be organized throughout Hudson County for information and resource sharing purposes. LSC will create an interactive map via its website with searchable fields for STEM services throughout Hudson County.

Three additional communities in New Jersey were chosen to serve in the NJ STEM learning ecosystems, including the Delran STEM Ecosystem Alliance, the Newark STEAM Coalition, and the South Jersey STEM & Innovation Center.
