You aren't going to want to miss this. On January 30 (that's a Wednesday, people), STEMconnector and My College Options will team up to host a live webinar, presenting the findings of their national report, Where are the STEM Students? What are their Career Interests? Where are the STEM Jobs? Even better, the webinar will be a live broadcast of the event launch in Washington, DC hosted by the American Association of University Women (AAUW).What's great about this new report is that it identifies the STEM interests of more than one million U.S. high school students interested in pursuing STEM careers, and links them to increasing demand for STEM jobs - which will be over 16 million when 2018 rolls around. And if you really want to dive into the minds of students, the report does that for you too. In-depth profiles of more than one million students interested in STEM majors and careers with breakouts for all 50 states and the District of Columbia will provide educators with more insight into this generation's minds than ever before. Sounds like a win for everyone involved!
The report was designed to motivate students interested in STEM fields by providing a breakdown of "hot" and up and coming STEM jobs, salary figures and a projection of the future STEM market.
The "Town Hall" style webinar will begin at 3:00 p.m. CT on Jan. 30 and run until 4:00 p.m. CT. At 2:45 p.m. CT on Jan. 30, you will be able to join the WebEx session by visiting STEMconnector.org/townhall and registering. You can also join in the Twitter Chat on Jan. 30. The twittersphere will begin to chat about the discussion at 2:00 p.m. CT on Jan. 30 using hashtag #WHERESTEM. @STEMconnector will be moderating the live chat.
This is an excellent opportunity to learn about today's students and generate ongoing STEM interest and excitement; let's do it!
