GYSTC was founded in April of 1989 and the first regional Center opened in 1990. The concept was very popular and by late 1997, the eight current Centers were in operation. Each Center has its own board of directors involving more than 150 local business, education, and government leaders. Seven of the Centers are located on Higher Education campuses. Since the first Center opening, more than 2.5 million students, teachers, parents, school administrators and others have participated in GYSTC conducted or sponsored programs throughout the state. Magnolia Midlands GYSTC was organized on June 22, 1995, at Georgia Southern University and later relocated to East Georgia State College in June of 1997.  The name was based upon the travel and tourism area known as the Magnolia Midlands. GYSTC provides quality programs for teachers of STEM subjects that improve the teaching and learning process at the kindergarten through eighth grade levels. We present programs that change students’ perceptions and inspire an appreciation for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics subjects.  The current regional coordinator is Erin Youmans.  MMGYSTC is located at the Fulford Center at East Georgia State College.
