Join us Tuesday, September 29, 2020, from 8 a.m. to Noon U.S. Central Time (GMT-5), for the STEM City Global Summit: Connecting K-12 Education to the Challenges of the Real World. This online half-day global summit will be based on the recent publication, STEM in the Technopolis: The Power of STEM Education in Regional Technology Policy that our very own Chief Learning Officer, Cliff Zintgraff, Ph.D., developed as lead editor and author. Topics of discussion will include:
VIP Messages from San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg, Movimiento STEM (México) founder Graciela Rojas, and Port San Antonio CEO Jim Perschbach.
Keynote Conversations: The Virtuous Cycle – with participants from SAMSAT’s network, including Port San Antonio and local industry, along with authors from the first six principles chapters of the book.
Cases of STEM Learning Around the Priorities of Cities with lead authors from the case study chapters, along with selected additional participants/moderators; San Antonio, USA; Querétaro, México; Medellín, Colombia, São Carlos, Brazil; Fundão, Portugal; and Qatar.
K-12, Workforce, and Equity in the STEM Technopolis: Principles and Learnings from Practice – group discussion with those engaged in connecting K-12 education to workforce needs, in the context of equity, and not ignoring the additional challenges of COVID-19.
What Next? – future implications from a representative group of participants and stakeholders.
Over the course of the day, participants will hear about K-12’s role in building a city’s knowledge-based economy; how K-12 partnerships with other sectors can lead to win-win scenarios and resources for K-12 STEM learning; and real-world case studies of success.
This global summit brings K-12, colleges, industry, academia, government and non-profits from across the globe together to help drive cities’ priorities forward, emphasizing K-12 education and how real-world learning can integrate with and greatly benefit city economic and social development.
