1. What is the Triangle Coalition?

The Triangle Coalition for Science and Technology Education was founded in 1985 to join the ideas, influence, and resources of national, regional, and local organizations in five major sectors:

• Business/Industry

• Science/Mathematics/Engineering

• Government Agencies

• National Education Organizations

• State/Regional Education Alliances

Through alliances and partnerships, these three sectors work with the Triangle Coalition to improve science, mathematics, and technology education.

2. What does the Triangle Coalition do?

The Triangle Coalition concentrates its efforts to improve education in three areas.

• Communication - Providing up-to-date information to our members through a weekly electronic newsletter (Triangle Coalition Electronic Bulletin) and fostering sharing of information among members

• Programs and Initiatives - Providing a national forum for programs

3. Who are Triangle Coalition's members and partners?
