Seattle STEM Smart Workshop

The National Science Foundation (NSF) will sponsor the first of a series of one-day regional workshops to promote dialogue about the 2011 National Resource Council report: Identifying Highly Successful Schools or Programs for K-12 STEM Education. Designed with plenaries, breakout sessions, and networking opportunities, this NSF-supported workshop will bring together educators from formal and informal education across all grade levels and higher education. Participants will also include STEM leaders, policy-makers, and representatives from business and funding communities. Attendees will learn about the findings, implications, and recommendations of the report, and promising practices and resources relevant to effective STEM schools and programs. Participation by teams is encouraged. This workshop is co-hosted by WA LASER and EDC. For more information, visit: http://successfulstemeducation.org/content/events-seattle-wa
