8 Grand Challenges 4 #STEMeducation (www.the74million.org/article/stem...) each need a full story - coming soon! 1st up, Standards: "STEM education has a love-hate relationship with learning standards in math and science." Then... AI? Assessment? Equity? Scaling? Tchr Prep? Funding? Hmm...
STEM’s Grand Challenges — And Opportunities
Weld: With focus shifting to AI, changes in federal data and grant programs, and a lack of public awareness, STEM education must adapt and expand.
