Why We Should All Be STEAMED About Education in Indiana.
STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education is in the media everywhere. It has been estimated Indiana alone will have 123,000 STEM jobs available in 2018. However, is the emphasis on STEM education enough to set Indiana apart from the rest of the global workforce? Sixty five percent of grade school children today may have jobs that don’t even yet exist. In this presentation, Dr. Albert will argue and advocate not only for STEM education in Indiana, but STEAMED education, which integrates the arts, entrepreneurship and design thinking into the STEM curriculum, which will better prepare the future Indiana workforce.
