There is a growing consensus that the US needs to improve STEM education, especially for minorities and women, to remain competitive globally and fill future workforce needs. Currently, US students perform below average in math and science, minorities and women are underrepresented in STEM degrees and careers, and over half of states have low high school graduation rates. Addressing these issues will require commitment from government, private sector, and non-profits to increase opportunities in STEM education and careers.

The Digital Divide
The Digital Dividecordelia09
油
The document discusses the digital divide, which refers to the lack of access to information technology between those who can and cannot access it. The digital divide reflects existing social inequalities in the U.S. Barriers to access include lack of resources to purchase and upgrade software and hardware, as well as the technical skills needed. Those most affected tend to be women, racial/ethnic minorities, individuals with low incomes or disabilities, and those who are not integrated into the workforce or are primary caregivers for family members. While computer use is widespread, internet access differs by gender, ethnicity, and other factors.From STEM to TEAMS a US educational innovation strategy which unifies the hou...

Census microdata from different countries and time periods is currently difficult to access, combine, and analyze due to differences in format and granularity. The authors propose applying Linked Open Data principles and semantic web technologies to publish census microdata in order to address these issues. They present a process for converting census microdata to Linked Open Data and apply it to two case studies: the 2001 Spanish census and the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series International framework. The results show census microdata can be published as Linked Open Data while preserving original structures, and this approach enables harmonization and integration across data sources.Ppt ict

Washington's education system ranks low nationally in spending per student. This is forcing businesses to import highly educated employees and is contributing to poor student performance. Only 16 out of 100 Washington students who enter college complete a degree within 6 years. Due to budget cuts, the University of Washington has lost teaching positions and offers fewer courses, potentially hurting students. Improving education is seen as important to the state's economic future.More Related Content

This document discusses engaging more minority serving institutions (MSIs) in cyberinfrastructure development through regional networks. It provides data showing the importance of MSIs like historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) in educating underrepresented minority students in STEM fields. Regional networks can help equalize opportunities by assisting MSIs in overcoming barriers to resources through training, networking infrastructure support, and helping institutions obtain necessary staffing and funding. Strategies mentioned include collaborating with MSIs on grants and addressing issues identified in surveys like lack of vision for data use beyond compliance. The goal is to broaden participation in STEAM fields by leveraging the success MSIs have shown in supporting underrepresented students.Richard Alo: Panel - Reaching More Minority-Serving Campuses

This document discusses engaging more minority serving institutions (MSIs) in the National Research Platform (NRP). It provides data showing that MSIs serve a disproportionate number of underrepresented minority students and are important producers of STEM graduates from these groups. The NRP can help broaden participation in STEAM fields by providing MSIs access to advanced cyberinfrastructure resources, new learning modalities, and opportunities for collaborative research between MSIs and other institutions. Regional networks also have a role to play in helping MSIs overcome barriers and attracting them to collaborative grants. The goal is to tear down walls between research and teaching and reinvent the university experience for more inclusive learning and innovation.Strategic Development & Communications New Business -Grant Development Update

- 2. A strong consensus is emerging among scientific, business, and education leaders that Americas ability to innovate and compete in the global marketplace is directly tied to the ability of our public schools to adequately prepare all students in science, technology, engineering, and math. As highly educated workers retire and this country experiences wide-ranging changes in demographic patterns, the existing U.S. labor force, based on historical trends, will be replaced by mounting numbers of Latinos and African Americans who are far less likely to earn college degrees. To maintain U.S. dominance in technological innovation, we must act swiftly and decisively to ensure that we are encouraging and preparing young students, particularly minorities, to enter the engineering and technology workforce.
