Supporting K-12 STEM Education to Create the Foundations for Innovation: Proceedings of a Workshop--In Brief
Paula Whitacre
National Academies Press
The CHIPS and Science Act recognized the importance of exposure to innovation and entrepreneurial concepts at the K-12 level by codifying into law the intention of broadening the base of Americans engaged in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The Government-University-Industry Research Roundtable (GUIRR) has long sought ways to strengthen partnerships across diverse sectors of the U.S. research ecosystem to meet a range of national challenges, including addressing the issue of STEM education. On February 6 and 7, 2024, GUIRR convened a workshop for members and invited guests that focused on K-12 STEM education to understand how to shape the scientific workforce of the future. [Paula Whitacre served as rapporteur. Additional contributors include the Government-University-Industry Research Roundtable and Policy and Global Affairs.]
