THE FOUNDATION SEEKS TO ENHANCE THE PROMINENCE OF THE NATIONAL MEDALS OF SCIENCE AND OF TECHNOLOGY AND THE LAUREATES. AT THE SAME TIME, IT STRIVES TO INCREASE PUBLIC AWARENESS THAT ECONOMIC GROWTH, COMPETITIVENESS, AND HIGH STANDARD OF LIVING DEPEND ON OUR NATION'S ABILITY TO LEAD THE WORLD IN SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY AND TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT.
TO HONOR OUR NATION'S OUTSTANDING DISCOVERERS AND INNOVATORS AND TO ADVANCE PUBLIC ADVANCEMENT OF THE IMPORTANCE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY TO OUR LIVES, OUR COUNTRY AND OUR PLANET.
NATIONAL MEDALS EVENTS - SINCE ITS INCEPTION, THE NSTMF HAS HONORED THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO RECEIVE AMERICA'S HIGHEST HONORS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY: THE NATIONAL MEDAL OF SCIENCE AND THE NATIONAL MEDAL OF TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION. THESE MEDALS, BESTOWED BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, RECOGNIZE THOSE WHO LEAD OUR COUNTRY AND THE WORLD IN SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT. THEIR PASSION FOR KNOWLEDGE HAS TAKEN US BEYOND OUR PLANET, TO THE BOTTOM OF OUR SEAS, AND DEEP WITHIN THE NEURAL PATHWAYS OF THE HUMAN BRAIN.THE NSTMF HONORS THESE ACCOMPLISHMENTS BY HOSTING THE NATIONAL MEDALS CELEBRATION, AN ANNUAL THREE-DAY CELEBRATION OF INGENUITY AND EXCELLENCE IN STEM. THE CELEBRATION HONORS THE NEW CLASS OF LAUREATES, THE BROADER LAUREATE COMMUNITY, AND LEADERS IN THE STEM COMMUNITY DOING EXCELLENT WORK IN THE LAB AND IN SUPPORT OF THEIR COMMUNITY.THE NSTMF HOSTS THE NATIONAL MEDALS CELEBRATION, A DAY-LONG SERIES OF EVENTS BEGINNING WITH A CEREMONY WHERE THE LAUREATES RECEIVE THEIR MEDALS FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES AND ENDING WITH A CELEBRATORY GALA FOR LAUREATES AND THEIR HONORED GUESTS.
LAUREATE E-MUSEUM - IS A SEARCHABLE DATA BASE OF INFORMATION ON ALL THE MEDAL LAUREATES. IT WILL ALLOW YOU TO READ ABOUT THE LAUREATES AND THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND ALLOW YOU TO LISTEN TO THE LAUREATES SHARE THE PASSION SUROUNDING THEIR WORK, THOSE WHO HAVE MENTORED THEM IN THE PAST, AND THE NEXT GENERATION THAT THEY PLAN TO GUIDE. EACH LAUREATE WILL HAVE A DEDICATED PAGE WITH INFORMATION, INCLUDING PHOTOS, ABOUT THE LAUREATE AND FOR THE WORK HE/SHE RECEIVED THE MEDAL.

"UNSCRIPTED," WAS CREATED BY THE NSTMF TO SERVE THE FOUNDATION'S MISSION OF CHAMPIONING THE WORK AND LIVES OF AMERICA'S GREATEST SCIENTISTS AND TECHNOLOGISTS AND CONNECTING THESE EXTRAORDINARY INDIVIDUALS TO THE NEXT GENERATION. THE PROGRAM MARKS OUR FIRST STEP TOWARD BUILDING AN INCLUSIVE COALITION OF INSPIRED STEM STUDENTS. THE PROGRAM FEATURES NATIONAL MEDAL LAUREATES AND OTHER PROMINENT STEM EXPERTS IN INTIMATE, DISCUSSION-CENTRIC EVENTS. NOW IN ITS THIRD YEAR, THE PROGRAM HAS FEATURED NEARLY 25 EXPERTS, REACHED AN AUDIENCE OF MORE THAN 6,000 STUDENTS, PROFESSORS, AND MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC, AND CREATED RELATIONSHIPS WITH 14 UNIVERSITIES AND INSTITUTIONS. THE HALLMARK OF THESE EVENTS IS THE INTIMATE ATMOSPHERE IN WHICH STEM EXPERTS SHARE STORIES ABOUT NOTABLE ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS WELL AS THE FAILURE AND FALSE STARTS THAT DEFINED THEIR JOURNEY TO SUCCESS. GEARED TOWARDS STUDENTS AND YOUNG STEM PROFESSIONALS, THESE EVENTS PULL BACK THE CURTAIN ON WORLD-CHANGING SCIENTIFIC ACCOMPLISHMENTS. THE AUDIENCE IS ENCOURAGED TO ASK QUESTIONS AND ENGAGE WITH THE SPEAKERS OUTSIDE THE STRUCTURE OF A TYPICAL STUDENT-TEACHER INTERACTION. BY ATTENDING ONE OF THESE PROGRAMS OR WATCHING ONLINE, STUDENTS GAIN ACCESS TO A SET OF INDIVIDUALS THEY WOULDN'T OTHERWISE BE ABLE TO ENGAGE IN A SUBSTANTIVE DISCUSSION.
