1 Solving America’s Innovation Problem The Sleeping Dragon is Waking June 29, 2011

2 Educating the Workforce of the Future

3 Gender Gap in US Colleges 3 Women account for 57% of college students Women earn 57% of college degrees; men 43% Women account for 60% of graduate students

4 College Majors and Gender (2007) Men dominate bachelor’s degrees in some fields 81% in engineering 81% in computer science 79% in physics Women are stronger in other fields 77% in psychology 60% in biological sciences 50% in agricultural sciences 50% in chemistry Women comprise almost half of the US workforce but only 27% of the science and engineering workforce 4

5 STEM Dependent Careers 182,000 science and engineering workers in 1950; 5.5 million in 2007 Annual growth rate of 6.2%, nearly 4 times the 1.6% growth rate for the total workforce Impending retirement of baby boomers may create even greater demand 5

6 STEM Capable Careers Thirty occupations slated for the fastest growth between 2008 and 2018 nearly all demand considerable quantitative literacy and technical STEM knowledge whether to fulfill pre-service training requirements or for on-the-job learning. 6

12 Engineering in K-12 Over the 1990s, less than 6 million students received formal engineering education –56 million students enrolled in 2008 18K teachers received training in engineering education S T E M

13 Educate to Innovate Improve participation and performance of America’s students in STEM Mobilize the business community to improve the quality of STEM learning in the US 13 Craig Barrett Former CEO/Chair, Intel Glenn Britt CEO, Time Warner Cable Ursula Burns CEO, Xerox William Green Chairman, Accenture Antonio Perez CEO, Kodak Sally Ride CEO, Sally Ride Science Rex Tillerson CEO, Exxon Mobil

14 Organizational Goals Improving STEM teaching at all grade levels, with a larger & more diverse cadre of highly-capable and inspirational STEM teachers Inspiring student appreciation & excitement for STEM programs & careers to increase success & achievement in school & opportunities for a collegiate education, especially among females & students of color Achieving a sustained commitment to improving STEM education from business leaders, government officials, STEM educators & other stakeholders through innovation, communication, collaboration & data-based decision making 14

15 What defines Success? Corporate members strengthen philanthropy in STEM learning for youngsters in grades preK-12 –Independent, non-partisan, non-profit voice engaged in public/private partnerships Help corporate members strengthen their advocacy, especially at the state and local level –Connect with like-minded leaders and create a significantly greater impact than would be possible for individual corporations in isolation Ensure accountability for results 15

16 First Year Activities Snapshot of the STEM investments Design Principles for effective philanthropy –Mentoring and collaboration –Searchable database –Characteristics and rubrics 100 new sites for handful of effective programs State-by-state STEM Vital Signs Well-conceived communication strategy 16

17 Featured Programs Advanced Placement Training and Incentive Career Ladders Engineering is Elementary FIRST K-8 Math Progressions National Academy Foundation UTeach 17

18 What is Engineering? % Correct

19 APTIP Female Results – Cohort I 19 The percent increase in AP math and science exams passed by female students in Cohort I of NMSI program schools is over 12 times the national average.
