The eMINTS National Center is a collaborative education program sponsored by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and the University of Missouri System Office of Academic Affairs.

The eMINTS National Center serves as a resource base for Missouri schools and districts as well as for other states that wish to collaborate with eMINTS staff and with one another to replicate the eMINTS instructional model within their educational systems.

eMINTS represented a statewide expansion of the Multimedia Interactive Networked Technologies (MINTs) program that began in 1997 through a cooperative effort of Missouri's Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE), the Missouri Research and Education Network (MOREnet), Southwestern Bell and 12 elementary classrooms in six St. Louis County school districts.

Because of the promising results of the MINTs program and the state’s desire to build momentum for integrating technology into overall school improvement efforts, DESE rapidly expanded the program into a statewide program in fall 1999. To expedite the eMINTS expansion for 1999-2000, DESE selected the first set of districts by identifying districts that represented a cross section of Missouri’s schools. Since then, districts have submitted competitive applications to DESE requesting participation; selection has been based on multiple criteria. Currently 218 Missouri districts plus 5 districts in Utah are participating in the eMINTS program.
