Abstract
The National Science Foundation and the US Department of Education (DoE) have emphasized the responsibility of universities to assist K-12 community in improving student academic achievements in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). They are currently examining the characteristics and operations of partnerships influencing STEM educational outcomes. Partnership is often viewed primarily as a vehicle or framework for conducting other planned STEM activities or interventions. The unintended consequences of the partnership, defined as spillover, can become so crucial that they eclipse the original project objectives, becoming themselves a driving force in the program.
