From July 29 - Aug 2, ASAS Chicago hosted STEM CampUs at Illinois Institute of Technology. Sponsored by Teza Technologies, STEM CampUs focused on high school, college and career readiness, with a specific focus on entrepreneurship and the STEM fields.
Dr. Tom Stritikus, University of Washington, led a Q&A with gubernatorial candidate Jay Inslee. “Our P-12 system must better equip our children to be the innovators and inventors of tomorrow, and our universities and colleges must prepare students with the STEM skills and knowledge our employers so desperately need,” said Inslee. “The status quo is no longer adequate to ensure our workforce and our children will be competitive in the 21st Century Innovation Economy."

Macro of a stem and leaf inset of what I assume is a very fast growing wild weed :-). Plant rising very enthusiastically out of a formerly empty earth-filled pot in the garden, bit like Jack and the beanstalk, though I didn't trade anything for it :-) .
These students from Kashmere, North Early College, and Wheatley High Schools worked in cooperative groups to solve a real world problem. Each group of 3 to 4 students posed as an engineering firm that would submit a robotics solution to a geophysics problem. Teams used the LEGO Mindstorm NXT robot to design a vehicle that could climb to the top of a Mountain to retrieve rocks that stored energy. Their vehicle should be able to climb the mountain and continue its motion as the slope of the mountain increased. The team whose robot climbed the highest would win the bid with my company.

If you have a 3rd-6th grader, join us Wednesdays in May from 3:30-4:30pm with STREAM Innovations. We will be learning STEM-based activities based on the topic of agriculture.
Last week, the kids learned about trees. Tomorrow, we will learn about plants and seeds.
**This will be our LAST STREAM Innovations program so make sure you check it out while you can!**
Our luncheon was a special opportunity for two area schools: TC Williams STEM Academy in Alexandria, VA, and Northwestern High School in Hyattsville, MD. Booz Allen Principal Dr. Velma Deleveaux welcomed the students and shared her personal STEM journey. Students then had small group discussions with 25 Booz Allen STEM professionals who volunteered to support this event.

The National STEM Guitar Project, in partnership with NSF Advanced Technological Education (ATE) Centers with funding provided through a grant from The National Science Foundation (#1304405), hosts innovative Guitar Building Institutes around the United States. The 5-day institutes, combined with additional instructional activities comprising 80 hours, provide faculty training on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) for middle, high school, and post-secondary faculty. The institutes present and teach participants hands-on, applied learning techniques to help engage students and spark excitement for learning STEM subject matter.
Nationwide, there are increasing concerns from businesses about the supply of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics trained workers. Science and math test scores in the U.S. are among the lowest around the world.
The goal and objective of the STEM Guitar Building Institutes is to showcase a new way to present learning for students with applied methods.
