It's great to see The University of Sunderland inspiring the next generation. The future of innovation lies in the hands of the younger generation, and it’s crucial that we encourage them to pursue careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). STEM isn’t just about understanding complex equations or coding the next breakthrough app; it’s about solving real-world problems, driving progress, and shaping the future. By nurturing curiosity, creativity, and a passion for discovery, we equip young minds to tackle the challenges of tomorrow. Mentorship, hands-on learning opportunities, and showing the relevance of STEM in everyday life can ignite this passion. The possibilities in these fields are endless, and the next wave of inventors, thinkers, and problem solvers are right in front of us.

Launched in 2021 with a six-year grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF), University of Michigan-Dearborn’s STEM Scholars Program boasts a 100% retention rate between first and second year students. The program connects Pell-eligible students in STEM majors to impactful education practices, like research, cohorts, professional development and more. myumi.ch/Q6gMj

If you are considering Tufts University, don't miss this conversation with John Durante, Ed.D. We discuss the Tufts experience, Tufts University School of Engineering, the application process, and how prospective students can make the most of their college search and time in college.

These sessions are always amazing, and STEM education is a hot topic right now. If you are interested how STEM is changing and how the spaces that house it are evolving, please sign up at the link below! #STEM #education #hdr

In collaboration with the National Science Foundation (NSF), NCER established a new R&D center on elementary science education earlier this year. Through partnerships with STEM researchers and practitioners, this center will focus on increasing early pathways to STEM education and careers, particularly for students who are typically underrepresented in the STEM workforce.

Merrimack's evolution into a leading research university continues with plans for a new academic building on campus slated to open in spring 2026. The two-floor, 19,205-square-foot facility will significantly increase Merrimack’s academic space and provide more modern active learning environments for the College’s growing student population.

So many aspects of our world — almost all the things we do, touch and know — come from science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). STEM helps us understand the world and gives us the tools and inventions to improve our lives. How do things work? What’s involved? It’s fascinating to break it down and understand how everyday activities link to STEM, encouraging everyone to see the relevance of science and engineering in their everyday lives. Discover how our faculty are creating innovative opportunities to increase students’ interest and knowledge in science, technology, engineering and mathematics in the latest edition of the University of Wyoming's College of Engineering and Physical Sciences Foresight Magazine at https://lnkd.in/guD9hHUe.

Excited to be presenting at the NC Bridging the Gap Conference today! 🔥🔬 Igniting Curiosity: Transforming Science Classrooms into STEM Hubs Join me as I share practical strategies to leverage the N.C. Science Standards and create a dynamic STEM classroom. We'll explore how to integrate the eight science and engineering practices (SEPs) through engaging lessons that promote critical thinking and problem-solving. Ready to conquer low student engagement and master differentiation techniques? Ready to take your teaching to the next level? Book a free consultation to learn how my strategies can help you address low engagement and differentiation challenges

Making Science Commonsense Institute of Education Sciences National Science Foundation (NSF) Alicia Santiago, Ph.D. National Academy of Sciences Mathematical Association of America American Mathematical Society AAAS Science Gallery Bengaluru International Centre for Theoretical Sciences #education #science #concept #truth #Gora #PawanKalyan #AndhraPradesh #India #commonsense #understanding Shock-and-Awe (cf. Bush) may be a good strategy for some ends, but, with the obvious disclaimer: in my understanding, titillating may not be the best way to see what young minds find interesting. Lest you be thinking: NO! We're on a mission to get them not-as-knowledgeable as us dem-kids interested in this or that that we think they should be interested, here's something that maybe relevant: if you want to get a kid, say, Bardo, to get interested in whatever she/he/heshe may find interesting, in a menu of potentially interesting things, then it is not without value to know where Bardo is at, in the first place. Trust me: Kids, along with the uneducated laypeople, understand the blandness of the practice of science, where nothing happens most of the time, which is only compounded by the added difficulty of having to deal with the imperceptibly slowly developing proper understanding of whatever it is that is happening; all of this follows (if you into theory / abstract general) from the fact that scientists are all too human (physicists suck at biology; biologists have no clue about society; mathematicians are good at pretending as if they understood something they have no inkling ;) Beginning with Einstein (https://lnkd.in/gn9rVV_h), along with many good contemporary mathematicians (https://lnkd.in/gH8Fd4Gi), and most important of all, the very mathematics of science highlights its correspondence with the mundane everyday life (https://lnkd.in/gw79Aea8). Science is no different from the mostly uneventful and yet difficult life! The difficulty is in bringing, in the words of Grothendieck, which late Professor Ronnie Brown often used to remind me, concepts out of the dark (cf. concepts are no celestial droppings; https://lnkd.in/gMkfhfZ5). The idea of scientific outreach is, as has been recognized by many almost a century ago in my neck of the woods (e.g., Gora Science Centre, Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh), to facilitate conscious participation in the practice of science by anyone and everyone, i.e., make science commonsense (AND definitely not to deify scientists, with confabulated brains so special that they need a million or billion to make half-baked bs intriguing: I don't know what's the going rate for #StringTheory ;) Merry Christmas :) P.S. Is this wide-open eyes-n-mouth pic meant for representational purposes ;)

The Iowa Governor's STEM Advisory Council at the Department announced their 2025-26 menu for the STEM Scale-Up Program today. It's packed with science, technology, engineering and mathematics programs that PK-12 educators can apply for starting next week. https://lnkd.in/gdYr-7Vn
