On June 25 and 26, 2018, 211 STEM education leaders, 176 of whom were representatives from the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and several tribal territories, gathered in Washington, D.C. for the first State-Federal STEM Summit. On Day 2 of the Summit, these representatives from the K-16 education, business, and policy sectors met at the National Science Foundation to share their individual viewpoints on the impact of the 2013-2018 Federal 5-Year STEM Education Strategic Plan and priorities for the future Plan. These reflections are intended to inform the direction of the 2018-2023 STEM Education Strategic Plan. With that purpose in mind, three substantive discussions were held on June 26 to address the following over-arching questions: (1) What was the impact of the past (2013-2018) Federal Five-Year STEM Education Strategic Plan on states' STEM programs and policies? (2) What are the emergent trends and priorities of the STEM Community, and how might they factor in to the prospective 2018-2023 Federal Five-Year STEM Education Strategic Plan? and (3) What is the federal role and responsibility in supporting states' STEM education programs and policies? In this report, the authors describe the Summit's proceedings and findings for each of the three discussion questions. For each question, they introduce the purpose of the discussion, present the major findings drawn from the data, and provide a detailed description of the themes and patterns that emerged. The report closes with a discussion of their concluding observations.
