Dennis DeTurck and Bruce Lenthall: Transforming STEM Education

Dennis Deturck University Of Pennsylvania
Bruce Lenthall University Of Pennsylvania
December 12, 2014
Imagine an introductory college physics class where instead of sitting in a lecture hall, students work in small teams to predict the height from which an object must slide or roll downhill to successfully complete a loop-the-loop without leaving the track. They then do the experiment and analyze how accurate their predictions were.

David C Chavern U S Chamber Of Commerce
December 03, 2014
The idea for an invention or a new technology may strike unexpectedly, but innovation — putting those ideas to work in our society and our economy — is no accident. It doesn’t just happen. It must be cultivated. It requires the right elements, working in concert.
 

At the national level, we can and must do more to foster innovation. It will keep our economy humming, our businesses competitive and hiring, our manufacturers producing, our standard of living rising and our wages high.

There are five essential ingredients for innovation:

Debbie Sterling: Promoting STEM in the Pink Toy Aisle

Debbie Sterling Goldieblox
August 19, 2014
If you take a stroll down the “pink” aisle at the toy store, you’ll come across princesses, dress-up kits and dolls. With an abundance of these popular items, it’s no wonder research shows that girls lose interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields as early as age 8. While all of these items are a great way for girls to interact and imagine, it’s time for us to alter the way we think about toys for girls.

When it lines up on the grid to race at Melbourne’s Albert Park on 16 March, Caterham’s Formula 1 speed machine will rely on a symphony of global technology for success.
The car uses intercoolers developed in Germany, carbon fibre composites and fibre optic sensors from the United States, and big data analysis techniques developed in India.

It also has the backing of the GE Global Research team, which worked with the crew from last year to intelligently integrate these technologies.
