2 What is STEM? STEM education is an interdisciplinary approach to learning which integrates science, technology, engineering and mathematics into a cohesive learning paradigm. Rather than teaching the four disciplines as separate and discrete subjects, STEM offers an integrated approach where students are challenged to draw connections between their learning and the real-world. STEM focuses on these areas together not only because the skills and knowledge in each discipline are essential for student success, but also because these fields are deeply intertwined in the real world and in how students learn most effectively. The underlying purpose of STEM education is therefore to equip students with critical thinking, problem solving, creative and collaborative skills, to prepare them for their future career endeavors. The importance of STEM education The United States has long been a global leader in innovation and entrepreneurship, with continued excellence in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). However, recent reports by the President s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) have highlighted a growing problem regarding a workforce skills gap in STEM endeavours. So what does this really mean? If the United States is to maintain its global leadership and competitive position, it must make STEM a priority. STEM education creates the pipeline of future innovations, and innovation is key to driving the U.S. s economic prosperity. With industries like advanced manufacturing, life sciences, clean energy and health care expanding at a rapid pace, STEM education is a critical element in ensuring students are prepared for the jobs of tomorrow. The Obama-Administration has recognized the extent of the current STEM skills gap in the U.S., and accordingly has put in place the Educate to Innovate campaign which is designed to boost student engagement and achievement in math and sciences. With job growth in STEM field expected to outweigh qualified applicants in coming years, many U.S. states have initiated their own state STEM plans to work collaboratively with the goals of the national campaign. Developing a pipeline of STEM graduates is not only important for Massachusetts, it is critical to the success of our nation as a whole. With baby boomers retirements expected to deplete the science and technology workforce by 50% over the next decade, we are at risks of losing our leadership in technology and innovation. Eighty percent of jobs created in the next decade will require math and science skills. Creating this plan is a generational responsibility for the future of our children and the Commonwealth. Honorary Chair of the Governor s STEM Advisory Council, Congressman Joe Kennedy III 2

3 The importance of STEM education for individuals The fields of science, technology, engineering and math are deeply intertwined in our everyday lives, covering everything from the mechanics and reasons behind daily functioning to the complexities of modern technologies. Through STEM education individuals are given the opportunity to access a wealth of knowledge and information which contributes towards their understanding of the world they live in. However, importantly, STEM education also creates critical thinkers through instilling a sense of intrigue in individuals. As such, STEM education allows young minds to challenge their world, understand new concepts, make well-informed decisions and pursue new interests - effectively enabling the next generation of innovators.

4 Addressing the skills gap in Massachusetts Massachusetts has forever been home to world class centers of science and innovation, comprising of top universities, biotechnology companies and engineering firms. In response to the recent decline in economic commitment and educational engagement in STEM fields, the Patrick-Murray Administration developed a STEM Initiative in order maintain the state s historical pre-eminence. In an endeavor to make long-lasting and critical strides in STEM, the state initiated a Governor s STEM Advisory Council, comprising of business leaders, politicians and educational experts, to drive STEM achievement in Massachusetts. With an overarching aim to build a successful workforce, the STEM Council plays a fundamental role in implementing the goals of the State STEM Plan, A Foundation for the Future: Massachusetts Plan for Excellence in STEM Education.

5 Addressing the skills gap in Massachusetts (cont.) The STEM Pipeline Fund supports Massachusetts mission through providing grants to a range of educational programs targeting hands-on student projects, after-school programs, teacher professional development and parent/teacher career awareness. In FY15 the STEM Pipeline Fund will provide $1,500,000 in grants, which will be distributed amongst a range of initiatives including those under Project Initiative MA STEM Grant Fund FY12 FY13 FY14 FY15 Figures not adjusted for inflation. The efforts of Massachusetts are being recognized across the nation with M.A. schools receiving significant federal grants for their STEM initiatives. MARLBOROUGH HIGH SCHOOL RECEIVES $1.8M FEDERAL GRANT In April 2014, Malborough High School received a $1.8m federal grant to expand STEM and build relationships with local colleagues and businesses. Marlborough is one of three districts awarded a total of $4.9 million through a federal Department of Labor grant. Marlborough joined with West Springfield and Brockton, as well as Boston-based non-profit Jobs for the Future. The grant aims to create coursework that will better equip students for careers in the bustling science, technology sectors. 5

6 Addressing diversity in STEM Women in STEM 24% 76% 1 IN 7 ENGINEERS JOBS IN COMPUTER SCIENCE & MATH 27% 24% WOMEN IN STEM JOBS IN PHYSICAL & LIFE SCIENCES 40% DISPROPORTIONATELY LOW SHARE OF UNDERGRADUATE DEGREES Building diversity in STEM professions continues to be a global issue, with women significantly underrepresented in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math. 6

7 Addressing diversity in STEM (cont.) The reasons underpinning this issue range from a lack of female role models to gender stereotyping and less family-friendly flexibility in STEM fields. However, regardless of the reason, the U.S. have recognized that in order for it to remain at the top of global innovation, encouragement and support must be focused on women. President Obama has recognized that supporting women STEM students is not only an essential part of America s strategy to out-innovate, out-educate, and out-build the rest of the world; it is also important to women themselves. STEM careers present women with an opportunity to contribute towards discovery and technological innovation and effectively take greater steps towards economic success and equality for women. The solution? Encouraging women in STEM must begin at an early age, whether that be at home or importantly, in the classroom. In order to change the current gender stereotypes, women must find inspiration from other women and realize their potential to contribute towards global innovation. A history of women in STEM Despite a long history of gender inequality in STEM fields, women have contributed to and continue to contribute to many of the greatest global STEM developments. From programmers of the world s first electronic computer to space archaeologists and Higgs Boson physicists, women continue to make their mark in history. Take a look at some of the remarkable achievements of women over time It doesn t matter if you are a woman or a man, the important thing is your determination. Lise Meitner Lise Meitner was the second woman to receive a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Vienna. She discovered that uranium atoms were split when bombarded with neutrons, which eventually led to the atomic bomb. Rosalind Franklin Rosalind Franklin was a biophysicist and X-ray crystallographer who played a key role in developing our modern understanding of the molecular structures of DNA, RNA, viruses, coal and graphite. 7

8 A history of women in STEM (cont.) Kathleen Kay McNulty Kay McNulty was one of the six original programmers of the ENIAC, the first generalpurpose electronic digital computer. Kay accepted her job as a computer in 1942 at a starting annual salary of $1,620, and three years later she was selected to be one of its first programmers. Fabiola Gianotti Fabiola is the coordinator for the world s biggest science experiment, occupying one of the top jobs in science as a Higgs Boson physicist. This job is a great scientific adventure. But it s also a great human adventure. Marissa Mayer CEO of Yahoo, former engineer at Google. There is such a stereotype of the hacker; the pasty-skinned guy with the thick glasses, the pocket protector, the blue glow coming off of the monitor people think if they re going to be good at this, that s what they need to be. You can be good at technology and like fashion and art. You can be good at technology and be a jock. You can be good at technology and be a mom. You can do it your way, on your terms. Dr Sarah Parcak Sarah Parcak is a space archaeologist who uses satellites, initially designed for use by the military, to identify potential sub-surface remains. When people initially think of the term space archaeologist they think oh it s someone who uses satellites to look for alien settlements on Mars or in outer space but the opposite is true we re actually looking for evidence of past human life on planet earth, she says. 8

9 Business associations engage in STEM initiatives Business leaders are relying on excellent STEM education to develop the next generation of collaborative problem-solvers. Businesses across the U.S. are experiencing the impact of the STEM skills gap which is seeing a lack of qualified graduates in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The STEM gap is particularly prevalent in regional U.S. areas with employers experiencing difficulty finding candidates with the requisite technical and technology-related skills. Corporations need collaborative problem-solvers with excellent skills in sience, technology, engineering, and math. Ron Baillie, Co-Director of Carnegie Science Center. In collaboration with the government, business associations are seeking to address the skills gap through introducing STEM programs to encourage and inspire middle and high school students to engage in STEM endeavors. Among the hundreds of business initiatives currently underway is the Chevron Center for STEM Education and Career Development, which was launched in 2011 by the Carnegie Science Center. Chevron Center for STEM Education and Career Development The Chevron Center endeavors to address the STEM gap through offering student and educator programs which aim to increase the quality of STEM education for all. We launched our Chevron Center for STEM Education and Career Development three years ago to address this issue, embracing our role as convener of all stakeholders in the quest for top-quality STEM education corporations, parents, educators, students, legislators, foundations as we inspire and prepare young people to meet the needs of our region and our nation. - Ron Baillie A notable force driving many U.S. initiatives is the need to ignite student interest in STEM quickly and effectively. Business and government leaders are eager to inspire students from an early age - recognizing classrooms and teachers as the most effective agents for change. 9

10 Inspiring and engaging students in STEM Fostering engagement in STEM depends on two things: inspired teaching and inspiring resources. Not only to convey complex principles but to instil a lasting passion for STEM in students. The Massachusetts State STEM Plan has recognized the need to use innovative, instruction teaching and learning strategies to foster student interest in STEM. But what does this mean? It means that we cannot simply rely on traditional teaching and learning strategies to close the STEM skills gap, but rather we need to take advantage of new and innovative learning solutions to excite student interest and engagement. Today s students demand rich and immersive learning experiences that parallel their fast paced digital lives and fortunately in line with this, educational technologies are evolving at an exponential rate. Teachers and students now have access to a range of innovative online learning resources, including interactive software, digital imaging, audio and visual creation tools and video games which are working to ignite student interest and achievement across STEM fields. The invaluable thing about these resources is that they not only support the Common Core standards, but more importantly, they have students excited about learning. The power of online learning resources: 1. Fostering deeper understanding Immersive online environments allow students to truly engage with academic endeavours, often demonstrating how complex STEM principles relate to the real-world through practical online experiments and examples. 2. Engaging students Interactive environments and the gamification of learning encourages a kind of creativity that not only captivates student interest but consolidates STEM learning principles. 3. Encouraging independent learning Online learning environments encourage self-directed learning allowing students to become independent thinkers and problem-solvers a stated goal of the Common Core, and a key skill behind STEM endeavours. 4. Easing the fear With many STEM subjects perceived as too difficult, online environment help to remove the fear out of difficult subjects through providing students with an engaging environment that provides real-time support and feedback. Online resources are a powerful solution to igniting interest in STEM. 10

11 3P Learning As educators, we realise our responsibility to re-engage students in the marvels of science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
