About MSE3
The Maryland STEM Education to Employment Ecosystem (MSE3) is a statewide network of partners from education, industry, government, and community sectors working together to ensure that all Marylanders, especially our youth/young adults, have access to opportunities, resources, and mentoring experiences to explore science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Guided by its Industry Advisory Board, which informs priorities and aligns efforts with emerging workforce needs, MSE3 enables partners to design pathways that connect learning to employment.
Through its signature Constellations—Future Ready Maryland: Ignite AI Maryland, Robotics Across Maryland, and Future Ready Maryland: The Shipyard, MSE3 empowers partners to introduce ethical AI learning, elevate robotics competitions alongside athletics, and expand career-connected opportunities such as internships, apprenticeships, externships, scholarships, and co-ops.
Supported by its Industry and Academic Advisory Boards, MSE3 strengthens Maryland’s STEM talent pipeline by cultivating innovation, equity, and sustainability while equipping Marylanders with the skills needed to solve the nation’s and the world’s most pressing challenges.

STEM Ecosystems are community-based collaborations that transform how people learn and connect to future opportunities. They bring together cross-sector partners—schools, afterschool programs, colleges, businesses, community organizations, and government agencies—to create innovative solutions that will shape the next century of learning and future-ready workforce talent.
OUR MOVEMENT – To Empower a Brighter Future by harnessing the transformative power of the ecosystem model to unlock boundless STEM opportunities, driving innovation and shaping the next century of learning
Why it matters:
