2007 STEM Summit IV: Accelerating Forward

The "2007 STEM Summit IV: Accelerating Forward," will be held on Wednesday, October 17, at the Sturbridge Host Hotel and Conference Center, Sturbridge, MA. Educators, both PK-12 and higher education, community and business leaders and state and local-level policy makers are invited to attend. Through the leveraging capacity of the Summit, we intend to engage in the development of a state STEM plan and the necessary funding vehicles to support it, in collaboration with the legislature, PK-12 and higher education, business and associations. The Summit program will include a range of related topics: policy sessions, curriculum, instruction, planning and the "wingspread", so popular in past years The Summit will include opportunities to brainstorm and plan with colleagues as well as opportunities to be inspired and look to the future.
