Flagstaff, Arizona
America's 1st STEM Community
Flagstaff is STEM City
Flagstaff is a community that was founded on and greatly advanced by science and technology, from Lowell to Gore, from forestry to lunar studies and now to its most recent development as a bioscience cluster and an innovation incubator. This “City of Science” has been built on the foundation of its natural resource setting, including the ecological richness of the Colorado Plateau, the nearby Natural Wonders and its vast open and dark skies. Flagstaff is home to Northern Arizona University, a nationally recognized “high research activity” university that has established global science leadership in forestry, ecology, genomics and biology. Flagstaff schools promote science and engineering through robotics and other science-based clubs that have garnered statewide, and in some cases national, attention. Flagstaff business and government leadership have actively and financially supported science-based learning and economic development. Flagstaff is STEM City. With enhanced business-school-community coordination, Flagstaff will achieve its true capacity for education greatness, economic success and community vitality.
