Oregon Connections connects classrooms with industry professionals.

• Connect with STEM Professionals who can speak to your students, either in person or remotely. 

• How to use: make an account (free for Oregonians, through STEM Hubs), say what you're looking for, and the tool will match you with a professional.

• Teachers in our region have already tested OR Connections and recommend it! We're working on building the network of local STEM professionals (most are from other regions right now).
