We need to teach our kids that it's not just the winner of the Super Bowl who deserves to be celebrated, but the winner of the science fair.---January 25, 2011 State of the Union address by Barack Obama
The second annual Shoreline Science Fair and STEM Career Expo will be held at Shoreline Community College on Saturday May 31, 2014 from 10am to 2pm. Admittance is free.
There will be a traditional science fair for grades K-12 and also a
STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) Career Expo. In addition
to the Shoreline School District CTE being at the event, there will be
multiple booths and hands-on exhibits representing the wide variety of
STEM educational pathways that can lead to careers with very high wages
and life-long and steady employment.
The data is in. Currently and into the future, STEM education and jobs will
afford a person many more opportunities and ease of life than non-STEM
career pathways will.
What data? WHERE??? You fail to site hard facts. There are quite a few studies that indicate quite the opposite. I used to be in the biomedical sciences with a doctorate from a major medical school. Most of my former peers can't find real work. (Post-docs that pay piddle - nothing more)
ReplyDeleteI will site some facts: the EPI study last year shows no shortage of STEM workers in a variety of disciplines (http://www.epi.org/press/epi-analysis-finds-shortage-stem-workers/) The study also indicates that guest-workers are suppressing salaries (http://www.epi.org/publication/bp359-guestworkers-high-skill-labor-market-analysis/) And right now there is a lawsuit of massive proportions regarding wage suppression of tech workers in Silicon Valley..(http://reinnovatingamerica.com/300/stem-career-viability-in-a-winner-take-all-society/#more-300) Try some FACTS next time.
