CMU-Africa will collaborate with Challenger Center to deliver Challenger Center’s Virtual Missions to hundreds of secondary school students on the continent. This project will help grow the population of African students who are motivated to pursue higher education and careers in STEM fields. "We look forward to collaborating with Challenger Center to engage young Africans through the exciting world of space," said Conrad Tucker, director of CMU-Africa and associate dean for international affairs-Africa in Carnegie Mellon University's College of Engineering. "Through this project, we hope to get secondary school students excited about the field of STEM and educate them on how they can use these skills to make an impact in their communities and across the continent." https://lnkd.in/dptUcKRa 

Have you ever wondered about the transformative power of STEM/STEAM education? STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and its creative cousin STEAM (adding Arts to the mix) have transcended mere subjects; they are gateways to innovation, problem-solving, and a deeper understanding of the world around us. But beyond the equations and experiments, what impact do they truly have? Research paints a compelling picture. Studies consistently show that students engaged in STEM/STEAM education exhibit higher levels of critical thinking, creativity, and adaptability—skills that are paramount in today's rapidly changing landscape. They not only excel academically but also develop the resilience and agility needed to thrive in diverse careers and industries. Moreover, STEM/STEAM education fosters collaboration and interdisciplinary thinking. It breaks down silos and encourages students to approach challenges holistically, drawing from multiple disciplines to find innovative solutions. This collaborative mindset is invaluable, reflecting the interconnectedness of our global society. Beyond individual growth, STEM/STEAM education holds the key to addressing pressing global challenges. From climate change to healthcare, technology, and sustainable development, the knowledge and skills nurtured through STEM/STEAM initiatives are instrumental in driving positive change and shaping a better future for all. As we navigate the complexities of the 21st century, STEM/STEAM education isn’t just an option—it’s a necessity. It empowers individuals, fuels innovation, and paves the way for a more resilient and inclusive society. Curious to delve deeper into STEM opportunities and grants?

Did you know that STEM occupations are expected to increase by 10.8% between 2021-2031⁉️ 📈According to a study by McKinsey, there will be a growing demand for STEM jobs in the coming years, which will significantly impact the economy. It is estimated that this could reach $4 trillion worldwide by 2025. ⚡️It is essential to integrate STEM more deeply into education and explore its impact on future careers. STEM should be incorporated into students' environments to help them build a brighter future. “It is not that kids do not have the time or capacity to fit in STEM, but rather that time needs to be reshaped to include STEM”, stated Rayan Barone in his blog.

STEM South Carolina powered by Clemson! Through a new partnership with STEM Global Action, Clemson University’s Division of Community, Engagement, Belonging and Access, will launch the STEM South Carolina (STEM SC) initiative modeled after the successful STEM NOLA community-engagement model as part of the University’s mission to enhance educational access to all students for success in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM). “The opportunity for Clemson University to partner with STEM Global Action in this new initiative drives directly to the heart of Clemson’s mission and its strategic plan,” said Felicia Benton-Johnson, Clemson University vice president for diversity and inclusive excellence. “As we continue to evolve and develop the Division of Community, Engagement, Belonging and Access, we will continue to explore opportunities to engage audiences around the State of South Carolina.” South Carolina's population and economy are demonstrating record growth and are driven largely by: Advanced Manufacturing (automotive, tire and aerospace industries); Retail and Distribution (warehousing, ports and rail) and Healthcare; thus there's long-term need for to develop a skilled, technical and STEM literate workforce. A cornerstone of Clemson University’s strategic plan, Clemson Elevate, is to enrich lives through community outreach, creating pathways to educational and economic advancement for South Carolinians. Traditionally, Clemson has welcomed young minds to its campus to ignite their aspirations; now, with STEM SC, the university will bring the transformative power of higher education directly to schools and communities statewide. This initiative will be a collaborative effort, involving industry partners, Cooperative Extension, college leadership, and community stakeholders to ensure broad impact. These initiatives underscore Clemson’s commitment to nurturing a robust STEM ecosystem that cultivates talent, drives economic growth, and expands opportunities for students throughout the state. Thank you VP Felicia Benton-Johnson for your vision and leadership in this movement. #STEMeducation #STEMSC #YouBelongInSTEM #STEMforAll #CradletoCareer #STEMGlobalAction STEM Learning Ecosystems White House Office of Science and Technology Policy Marlon Kimpson Crystal Kimpson Roberts Read more: https://lnkd.in/gCnuSUSw

🌊 Innovating Education: Team Aurora Shines at SUBS in Schools Event 🌟 Last week, the University of Newcastle hosted a remarkable showcase of young talent and innovation during the SUBS in Schools event. Among the many standout teams, Team Aurora from St Philip’s Christian College demonstrated the true power of student-led, project-based STEM learning. Made up of Year 9 and 10 students, Team Aurora's work over the past year has been extraordinary. From designing and building their submarine to presenting their research and testing their craft in action, these students pushed the boundaries of what’s possible at their age. Their submarine was evaluated by industry professionals and put through its paces to test its functionality and performance – a testament to their hard work, ingenuity, and passion for learning. This event is a shining example of what can happen when students are empowered to take control of their learning. Programs like SUBS in Schools, developed by the Re-Engineering Australia Foundation, remove the traditional limits of education and encourage students to explore STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) at their own pace. The result? Thousands of students across Australia are gaining hands-on experience and developing skills that prepare them for the future – all through creative, collaborative, and self-driven learning opportunities. The SUBS in Schools initiative fosters real-world problem-solving, collaboration, and innovation, enabling students to explore the intersection of technology, engineering, and sustainability. Connecting education to industry helps inspire the next generation of engineers, scientists, and innovators. Kudos to Team Aurora and all the participants who made this event a success! Your efforts showcase not only the incredible potential of young Australians but also the transformative impact of STEM education when students are free to explore, create, and excel. 📽️ Check out the highlights from the event in our video below! Prepare to be inspired by the passion and creativity of the next generation of STEM leaders. #STEMEducation #SUBSinSchools #Innovation #StudentSuccess #EngineeringAustralia #ProjectBasedLearning #FutureLeaders
