Created in 2017 by Legislative Act 392, the LaSTEM Advisory Council established 9 Regional STEM Centers strategically positioned within each Regional Labor Market Area in Louisiana. Each center focuses on the needs of their regional stakeholders and communities while developing collaborations with LaSTEM centers across the state to increase the impact of our network.
