In 2023, the Scientix STEM Alliance, working closely with its partners, led impactful initiatives within two major international campaigns—the STEM Discovery Campaign and Back to School. These campaigns engaged hundreds of thousands of students and educators, offering industry partners a valuable platform to showcase technologies, educational resources, and expertise. These activities became more than events—they were threads that wove connections between industry partners and the educational world.
