    Notes on slide 1

    What is STEM Education Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics education engages our children in making sense of the world

    STEM in EducationScience, Technology, Engineering and MathSTEM education moves from the silos of biology, chemistry and physics created by the Harvard Committee of Ten at the end of the 1800’s to study of process. Integrate theory with hands-on examples

    Project-based learning

    Find MAZE picture STEM education enables students through the design process to understand STEM- based concepts and then make use of them in novel situations.

    Problem Solversable, logical thinkers

    Foster creativity…design, design, designDesign mindedinnovators and inventors

    Foster creativity…design, design, design

    Why is science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education so important and what must we do?

    National Science Board National Action Plan, October 2007 Within the current education system, U.S. students are not obtaining the STEM knowledge college-level courses. they need to succeed. As Rising Above the Gathering Storm notes, “The danger exists that Americans may not know enough about science, technology, or mathematics to contribute significantly to, or fully benefit from, the knowledge-based economy that is already taking shape around us.”6 Almost 30 percent of students in their first year of college are forced to take remedial science and math classes because they are not prepared to take college-level

    American ingenuity, built on a foundation of science and engineering, has led our country to the forefront of innovation and discovery in the 19th and 20th centuries and has changed the basis of our economy. In the 21st century, scientific and technological innovations have become increasingly important as we face the benefits and challenges of both globalization and a knowledge-based economy. To succeed in this new information-based and highly technological society, all students need to develop their capabilities in STEM to levels much beyond what was considered acceptable in the past. A particular need exists for an increased emphasis on technology and engineering at all levels in our Nation’s education system.

    Strengthening STEM education across the Nation is critical to maintaining a high quality of life for our citizens and ensuring that Americans remain competitive in international science and technology. Public awareness and action are critical to addressing this crisis. Jobs in the 21st century, even those outside STEM fields, will increasingly demand a technologically literate workforce. All citizens must have basic STEM literacy in order to be full and active participants in our increasingly technology-based democracy. If STEM education reform is not considered seriously now, the Nation is in danger of failing current and future generations. The recommendations in this action plan are essential to providing the Nation with a population that is numerate and scientifically and technologically literate.

    The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that employment in science and engineering occupations will grow 70 percent faster than the overall growth for all occupations. STEM graduates on average enjoy better employment prospects and higher starting salaries than graduates in non-STEM field.

    14. 21st Century Skills
      “…an entire generation of kids will fail to make the grade in the global economy because they can’t think their way through abstract problems, work in teams, distinguish good information from bad, or speak a language other than English.”

      TIME Magazine, December 18, 2006
    15. “I am calling on our nation’s governors and state education chiefs to develop standards and assessments that don’t simply measure whether students can fill in a bubble on a test, but whether they possess 21st century skills like problem-solving and critical thinking and entrepreneurship and creativity”
      -President Barack Obama, March 2009
