ASSET STEM Education is pleased to announce the 2015 PA STEM Vision Conference: Innovative Ways to Educate, which will be held at the Hershey Lodge in Hershey, PA on March 6, 2015.
This year’s conference theme, "Innovative Ways to Educate," is intended to provide the Pennsylvania community with an opportunity to collaborate, reflect and share best practices for the future of STEM education and college and career-readiness in Pennsylvania.
With this goal in mind, ASSET and its conference partners seek participants for this year’s Innovation
Forum at the PA STEM Vision Conference. We aim to offer a program that will be of significant value to education, business and policy-making constituents and contributes to the advancement of STEM education across Pennsylvania.
We promote a holistic approach to STEM where learners:
- make connections between content and skills across a variety of disciplines
- engage in relevant and meaningful learning experiences that connect to real world skills and careers
- move from learning to understanding
- appreciate life-long learning
- analyze and address challenges
- connect relevant content to solve problems
- understand processes and systems
- participate in environments extending beyond the classroom
Based on participant feedback, the Innovation Forum will specifically highlight students, their work and strategies for their success. Additionally, we encourage schools to BYOB – Bring Your Own Business (or organization or community partner). We are specifically interested in showcasing experiences between schools and business, community and/or organization partners.
The Innovation Forum will be open during registration through lunch (12:10 p.m.-1:00 p.m.).
