School Partnerships

Innovate Albion’s ongoing partnership with MPS is designed to enrich foundational STEM education and build a local pipeline of tech talent within the Marshall Public Schools (MPS) district into high-impact learning centers. Innovate Albion’s two full-time STEM coordinators work directly with four Marshall elementary schools, providing hands-on instructional support, curriculum enhancement, and side-by-side coaching for classroom teachers. 

This collaborative effort is designed to achieve three critical milestones: 

• Empower Teachers: Equipping educators with the resources and technical mentorship required to sustainably weave high-quality STEM education into core academic curricula. 

• Expand Access: Ensuring elementary students—particularly those from economically disadvantaged, underserved, or marginalized backgrounds—receive consistent, high-caliber exposure to immersive, hands-on STEM experiences. 

• Strengthen Regional Pipeline: Introducing students at an early age to future-focused career pathways in engineering, manufacturing, advanced robotics, and emerging technology that align with the region’s economic landscape.
