Session Organization Where are the opportunities for math? Connecting to the real world Connecting to parents/families/community
What is STEM? Science Technology Engineering Math Science – Understand and answer questions about the natural world Technology – Human-made systems and processes Engineering – Systematic practice of design to solve human problems Math – Study of measurement, properties, and relationships of quantities and sets
Why does STEM matter? Essential elements of the job market Many students graduating high school uninterested and/or unprepared Research shows interest is lost in elementary grades Significant gaps by gender and ethnicity
