$140K+ in Design Prizes for STEM Education
Deadline for submission is August 3, 2011 by 5pm EDT
STEM or science, technology, engineering and mathematics is a big driver of innovation and economic progress in the US. Providing high-quality public education in STEM is therefore vital to growing the US economy. Our global rankings in STEM education have been slipping and elective enrollment in STEM areas has been falling. The old model of STEM fails to meet the psychological needs and demands of 21st century students in the US.
Teaching and learning STEM involves all dimensions of our minds – intellectual, emotional, motivational and volitional and therefore retooling it is a major cognitive design challenge. Making real progress in public STEM education requires designing new learning processes optimized for how the minds of US students really work.
One approach to improve STEM education is to more deeply involve professionals, companies and other community resources with STEM expertise in the learning process. To help bring focus to this approach, Changemakers working with the Carnegie Corporation and The Opportunity Equation has launched a STEM competition around the theme:
“Partnering for Excellence: Innovations in Science + Technology + Engineering + Math Education, an online collaborative competition, will spur creative ways for companies, universities, and other organizations with expertise in the STEM fields to partner with the public schools that need their talent. We are looking for models that bring STEM expertise into public schools, thereby using resources from the private and not-for-profit sectors in new ways to further student learning designed with a “long term, part time” approach (see visual below)”
As of this post there are a 101 entries. The deadline for submission is 5pm ET on August 3rd. While there are several cash prizes to win, the real value might be in the community-based feedback you received on your proposal.
