Encouraging Science and Technology Education | |
I've long been a fan of promoting education and careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM). Folks who know our family know that we have coached many robotics teams , and we're active in the local technology council as well as military STEM promotion. I enjoyed this article on falling STEM numbers in USA Today on my iPad while working out at the Christiansburg Recreation Center. Best quote: There is a global brain race, and the U.S. has been unilaterally disarming for years [Paul Saffo]. It's not all gloom, though. There are some bright spots, and we certainly want to continue promoting science as something really cool! Followup, 11/14/2011: Eric and I exhibited with Team 401 at the Grand opening of the VT Collaboratory . Virginia Tech is making inroads in becoming the leading university in STEM programs. Mighty good! |
