Transforming STEM Education: Inquiry, Innovation, Inclusion, and Evidence will bring together forward-thinking STEM faculty and academic leaders from all sectors of higher education to share innovations, evidence, and practical strategies for succeeding in the dual STEM challenges of this era:

Reversing the dramatic U.S. loss of needed talent in STEM disciplines, using evidence-based practices that increase persistence and achievement for all students, with particular attention to students from underrepresented groups;

Ensuring that all STEM graduates build--from the outset of their studies--the multi-disciplinary knowledge, research skills, and mindsets needed to address the complex challenges to be faced in every sphere of society.

This conference is organized by Project Kaleidoscope (PKAL), the STEM leadership center within AAC&U. Consistent with recent recommendations from the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), this conference will place special emphasis on practices that engage students in integrative STEM learning, across the curriculum, with problem-based inquiry and cross-disciplinary analysis. The conference will give special attention to practices that demonstrably increase underrepresented student persistence and success in STEM disciplines. The conference is designed to support campus teams that include faculty from the full range of STEM disciplines, as well as administrators with broad responsibility for educational excellence and renewal.
Meeting tracks will address three primary themes:

1. Advancing Integrative and Problem-Centered STEM Learning;

2. Supporting Underrepresented Student Achievement and Reversing the Talent Loss in STEM Fields;

3. Supporting and Scaling Faculty Leadership and Innovation.

Across all thematic tracks, sessions will feature ways that STEM teaching innovations can raise the level of student engagement in STEM fields and evidence about what actually works, both to advance integrative and interdisciplinary learning in STEM fields and to improve student success in STEM. Sessions will also explore ways to link STEM innovation to related institutional change priorities, such as general education renewal, underrepresented student success, assessment of student learning outcomes, and public and policy support for practices that strengthen STEM learning and achievement.

Game-changing
Integrated STEM

The Future Workforce
Drones. Autonomous cars. Robots. Apps that monitor and improve our lives. Science and engineering are advancing at staggering speeds and changing the way we think, work, communicate and interact. The pace of innovation is so rapid that new technologies of today may be obsolete in just a few years. In fact, experts predict that 65 percent of the jobs that today's K-6 children will hold haven't even been invented yet.

Together, we will:

Deliver better outcomes for all learners in STEM fields

Empower educators and the community to build a foundation for engineering and computer science discovery and achievement

Keep pace with the changing speed of technology

Encourage and motivate children and parents to engage new technologies and support them as they do

Meteorites streak through the sky, dropping a mysterious dust. Adults fall unconscious worldwide. To rescue them, kids must gather dirt from Mars. Who says learning science and engineering can't be fun? Not NASA engineers! They've teamed up with engineering students and gamers to create Falling Dust, a free, alternative-reality game that lets multiple players apply real-world skills to save humanity.

About Us

STEMconnector is a professional services firm committed to increasing the number of STEM-ready ( Science Technology Engineering M ath) workers in the global talent pool. Owned by Diversified Search, LLC, we provide a platform to engage leaders in both public and private sectors who collectively are re-envisioning the workforce. Working with pioneering leaders across over 200 organizations, our overall goal is to inform, stimulate and connect leaders with a passion for and vested interest in growing a STEM-ready workforce.

STEMconnector is committed to a networked-approach because we believe that no one sector has a monopoly. This guiding principle is reinforced by the breadth of our network that represents 25+ million students, 3.5+ million educators and 2.6 million STEM jobs. We are excited to work with Heads of Talent Acquisition, Chief Diversity Officers, CIOs and CTOs at leading corporations. We count Presidents of 2-year and 4-year universities as well as Executives of NGOs within our network. Most organizations who try to tackle the STEM gap independently found it difficult to deliver broad impact across a large population. By combining resources, ideas and energy across private and public sectors, members have realized they can collectively drive much more sustainable change and improve their talent pipelines than when they try to tackle it alone.

In an effort to close the gaps in STEM education and employment, it is imperative that we develop a more systematic approach. A multi-stakeholder model in which institutions of higher and technical education, the private sector, the nonprofit and government sectors work collaboratively on those issues is the most sustainable path to success. STEMconnector has been at the forefront in that regard by deploying a vanguard of initiatives & Councils designed to leverage the expertise of industry, nonprofits and government stakeholders. The key initiatives are:

In order to best serve the many communities within STEM, we have created an assortment of initiatives which focus in different aspects and interest areas of STEM. STEMconnector also has other initiatives and programs which help connect employers with job seekers, and higher education institutions in order to help promote diversity in the STEM fields.

STEMdaily aggregates and curates news stories in STEM Education for all professionals interested in staying up-to-date on the latest developments in STEM.
