STEM Committee  Chautauqua Region Community Foundation  Jamestown Community College  SUNY Fredonia  Jamestown Public Schools  Holy Family Catholic School  Independents

 Science, Technology, Engineering, Math  How can we interest students in STEM subjects?  What local initiatives can be taken to draw students into STEM professions  What regional institutions can help  “Grow your Own”: retaining area young people to fill STEM jobs in the area

Regional  High quality of life in Western New York  Low cost of living here  Quality housing stock  Good schools  Great place to raise a family  Multiple Industries, agriculture, business  Tourism, cultural and natural assets  Powerful Revitalization Underway

STEM National Picture  28 th in the world for Math  27 th in the World for Science  The U.S. STEM Professional Community is world’s largest.  Research Progress on learning growing.  Political Progress: educational reform and funding.

STEM National Picture  By 2014, there are expected to be 2 million jobs created in STEM-related fields.  STEM jobs pay 26% more than other occupations  But: National Assessment of Educational Progress, less than one-third of U.S. eighth graders show proficiency in mathematics and science.  Largest gap between STEM groups African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, and women.

New York State  Proficiency slips with age  National Center for Educational Statistics Ranks NYS on par in Science and Reading with National Averages  Regional Statistics reflect state averages % Below Basic% Basic %Proficient %Advanced Grade 4 Mathematics 17%43%35%5% Grade 8 Mathematics 27%39%26%8%

STEM Committee Goals  Increase number of students in the region interested in STEM education and careers  Learn what is currently offered as STEM education in County  Build local capacity to enhance STEM education among Middle School students  Build partnerships between STEM education and career choices
