Step 2: Connect with us in one (or more!) of these ways:

• Have an events calendar on your website and some tech skills? Connect with an API or WordPress plug-ins. Email info@sciencenearme.org to get started.
• Are you part of a network that needs a way to display STEM opportunities on your own site? Would you like your partners to be able to share their opportunities too? Email info@sciencenearme.org to request a custom SNM Exchange. Check out Science Around ME, Greater Austin STEM Ecosystem, or Nation of Makers to see how some of our current partners utilize exchanges. 
• Host a few events or opportunities a year? Submit your events through one of our partners listed below. If no partners match your needs, email info@sciencenearme.org to request access to the opportunity form. This will allow you to enter your opportunities directly into Science Near Me.
