QUOTE ON SIGNIFICANCE OF STEM EDUCATION
The STEM Education of the Future will enable learners to participate effectively in the STEM enterprise of today, and tomorrow. In a future where STEM knowledge and technology rapidly evolve, STEM learning will not merely be about mastering a stable knowledge base. Instead, learners must be skilled at lifelong learning and adapt with ease to the changing world. From reflection to metacognition to thinking in convergent, dynamic, and computational ways about complex problems, lifelong learners will need to adapt to tomorrow’s challenges, and contribute to the nation’s health, safety, and success in the future.
