Mining supports our way of life by producing metals essential for everyday items such as electricity, smart phones, plumbing and cars. Just as minerals form the building blocks of modern society, students who are proficient in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math hold the future keys to how these minerals will be used to better our lives and build a stronger Minnesota and a stronger America.

In addition to making our lives safer, healthier and more enjoyable, STEM students will develop the technologies and techniques to ensure the United States and Minnesota continue to mine these essential metals in a safe and environmentally friendly way.
