Making a Difference - Fostering Future Innovators

"STEM Enrichment Programming:  Bridging the Gap between Education and Innovation"

The U.S. Department of Labor forecasts a dramatic depletion of America's science and engineering workforce over the next 20 years.  What impact will this deficiency have on our children's ability to compete for jobs in the face of a global economy?  How can we better equip educators whose classrooms continue to become more creatively-confined with increasing emphasis on standardized test scores?  How can we supplement the traditional school year with inquiry-based, STEM activities that encourage 21st century thinking skills vital to the future of our youth?



Presentations from:

Todd Boyette, PhD - Director, Morehead Planetarium & Science Center
Lisa Poovey Berwyn - NC Business Committee for Education
Dr. Elissa Brown - Director of Statewide Secondary Projects, NC DPI
