The energy in the room was after The Game was palpable. STEM graduate students, worn-out from their long days of working in lab, gathered around to participate in the Who You Are Matters! game - an interactive personal and professional development experience. It was inspiring to see such brilliant minds being brought to life through meaningful conversations. Student's honored each other's stories, explored possibilities for further development, and provided feedback to move each other towards their individual goals. It was truly an entire weekend workshop, facilitated in just 2-hours!

Not only were student's inspired to take meaningful actions towards their individual goals, they experienced genuine connection - a rare opportunity in their busy lives. After playing with her group, computer scientist Gareth Halladay shared, "It was so inspiring to connect with each of you on a deeper level and realize that we all share common experiences and go through our own seasons as graduate students". Another student reflected, "I just love that we got to encourage each other to go out and achieve what we want in life".

In an environment that is constantly pushing for more, taking time to be with one another, to connect and collaborate, is invaluable to achieving greater successes. Click here to learn more about how you can be trained to facilitate the Who You Are Matter's experience. There is simply no substitute for the power of peer connection and encouragement.
Student's pictured here are participants of Colorado State University's GAUSSI Program - a transdisciplinary graduate training program consisting of extra courses, professional development opportunities, and mentoring and seminars in fields of large scale biological data analysis.

Background

In an ever-changing, increasingly complex world, it's more important than ever that our nation's youth are prepared to bring knowledge and skills to solve problems, make sense of information, and know how to gather and evaluate evidence to make decisions. These are the kinds of skills that students develop in science, technology, engineering and math-disciplines collectively known as STEM. If we want a nation where our future leaders, neighbors, and workers have the ability to understand and solve some of the complex challenges of today and tomorrow, and to meet the demands of the dynamic and evolving workforce, building students' skills, content knowledge, and fluency in STEM fields is essential. We must also make sure that, no matter where children live, they have access to quality learning environments. A child's zip code should not determine their STEM fluency.

Charting a Course for Success: America's Strategy For STEM Education

This report was published in December 2018 and sets out a Federal strategy for the next five years based on a vision for a future where all Americans will have lifelong access to high-quality STEM education and the United States will be the global leader in STEM literacy, innovation, and employment. It represents an urgent call to action for a nationwide collaboration with learners, families, educators, communities, and employers-a "North Star" for the STEM community as it collectively charts a course for the Nation's success. Read more about this strategy and what the U.S. Department of Education (Department) plans to do to support this strategy by going here.

Promoting Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math (STEM) Education, With a Particular Focus on Computer Science

STEM is a centerpiece of Secretary DeVos' comprehensive education agenda. The STEM priority may be used across the Departments' discretionary grant programs to further the Department's mission, which is "to promote student achievement and preparation for global competitiveness by fostering educational excellence and ensuring equal access." Read more here.

U.S. Department of Education Fulfills Administration Promise to Invest $200 Million in STEM Education

In November 2018, the Department announced that it not only fulfilled but surpassed President Trump's directive to invest $200 million in high-quality science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), including computer science, education. In total, the Department obligated $279 million in STEM discretionary grant funds in Fiscal Year 2018. Read more by going here.

Funding Opportunities

The Georgia Department of Education is dedicated to preparing students for 21st Century workplace careers by providing high quality educational opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. In Georgia, STEM education is defined as an integrated curriculum (as opposed to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics taught in isolation) that is driven by problem solving, discovery, exploratory project/problem-based learning, and student-centered development of ideas and solutions. The saturation of technology in most fields means that all students - not just those who plan to pursue a STEM profession - will require a solid foundation in STEM to be productive members of the workforce.
