Abstract As a non-profit charity program, the project of “Scientists in Schools” has played an extremely important role in strengthening science education and promoting STEM education in Canada, and has become a very popular national mechanism among schools. By the analysis of the mission objective, development course, operation mechanism, curriculum resources, as well as the implementation effect of “Scientists in Schools”, some references are obtained for the development of a good ecology of STEM education and promotion of STEM education by multiple forces in China. Such as scientists cooperate with teachers to enrich the composition of STEM teachers; stimulate interest and provide real situational STEM learning experience; multi-channel charitable donations to expand STEM education resources; expand the scope of influence, and ensure fair STEM learning opportunities.
