Description Do you believe the geek shall inherit the earth? Technology is changing our world and geeks are reaping the benefits. This innovation is built on a foundation of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). President Obama issued a rally cry about the importance of supporting STEM in his January 2011 State of the Union to “out-innovate, out-educate, and out-build the rest of the world, [because] innovation doesn’t just change our lives, it is how we make our living.” Yet the U.S. is still lagging behind. How can we get kids excited about math, make science cool and inspire kids to pursue careers in STEM? Discover strategies for engaging kids in compelling STEM programming and examine successful STEM case studies, like Connect a Million Minds (CAMM), Time Warner Cable’s (TWC) philanthropic initiative. TWC is working with FIRST to cultivate innovation among youth to inspire them to develop STEM skills to be the problem solvers of the future. Attendees will learn unique ways to connect kids to STEM and explore how to cultivate innovative thinking from youth. The panel will exhibit a FIRST robot, built by FIRST kids and a TWC mentor, demonstrating that innovation and teamwork go hand-in-hand.
