Opening FALL 2026!

Made possible through a generous support from Battelle Energy Alliance (BEA), the Applied STEM Institute at CEI will change the landscape of STEM learning opportunities in Idaho.

Designed with STEM in mind, the institute will be housed within the BEA Future Tech in partnership with Frontier Credit Union building, and will serve as a vibrant hub for access, exploration, and innovation.  Institute programming will provide unique and advanced spaces and opportunities where students, educators, and industry leaders can collaborate, innovate, and explore hands‑on learning, relevant to the jobs of tomorrow.  The institute is set to transform how students explore, engage, and envision their futures in science, technology, engineering, and math.

With solutions for rural access points and low-zero cost participation, the BEA Applied STEM Institute at College of Eastern Idaho will play a key role in building a stronger, future‑ready workforce.
