The Minnesota Alliance for Science was formed in the 1980s to bring together educators, local school districts, colleges and universities, public officials, the Minnesota government and the state education department to promote improvement in the education of K-12 students in math and science. The Alliance was housed within the College of Education and the Institute of Technology at the University of Minnesota and funded by the Bush Foundation.
