In addition to science principles, schools are teaching skills such as communication, collaboration and problem-solving as they adopt the Next Generation Science Standards
New technologies are dramatically transforming work and the global economy every day. Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers hold tremendous promise for millions of girls and women—but only if new policies tackle access and education problems first.
Digital learning experiences can be used to mirror the work of real scientists, boosting students’ engagement and learning outcomes in science class
Interactive early education builds STEM literacy in children
Using stories as a hook to grab students’ attention leads them to deep engagement with scientific concepts.
Why ensuring students have a strong understanding of science is critical to creating future well-informed citizens and policymakers who will lead our country
