Thank you to our 2026 Conference Partners

NCE 2026 is proudly supported by the following leading education partners. These sponsors help bring innovative tools and ideas to thousands of district leaders nationwide.

We provide a comprehensive STEM Education System (CSTEMES™). Our partnership through CSTEMES Thinking™ prepares students to thrive in a world with intelligent automated machines created by AI, robotics, and automation.
After learning where a school system falls within the Four Levels of STEM™ on the STEM Integration Continuum™, we work collaboratively to:

  • Set the context
  • Provide all students access to STEM experiences
  • Upskill educators through our Design Thinking-infused Pedagogy (DTIP™) with Pdgogy.ai™
  • Involve the community through our Collective Impact STEM Integrated Community (CISTEMIC™) model.

Our digital platform, Pdgogy.ai™, customizes curriculum through a student-focused pedagogy, helping students discover what they love, what they are good at, what the world needs, and what they can be paid for. Visit our website for more information.
