Founded by Diversified Educational Systems (DES) in direct response to the National Imperative for Industrial Skills, we’ve created stem+M to accelerate the exposure and interest in skilled manufacturing to the nation’s youth. In collaboration with Pitsco Education, we have developed an engaging hands-on curriculum that aims to inspire and provide foundational skills and knowledge needed for manufacturing careers. Our program utilizes cross curricular STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) activities with a very focused approach on the critical importance of Manufacturing Education (i.e., “+M”). Together, stem+M will help prepare today’s students to become tomorrow’s manufacturing professionals.
Since 1965, DES has provided turnkey program design and facility solutions for educational, career and technical, and research environments. These services include; curriculum and lab consultation, facility layout, MEP integration, project management, logistics, installation, and professional development. Collectively, our experienced staff of former educators, designers, and program specialists ensures solutions that work in the demands of the real world. 205 E.
