Center for STEM Education News:
The 2013 West Point STEM Workshop, originally scheduled
for May 2013, has been cancelled. Because of the ongoing federal budget crisis,
all conferences and workshops at West Point have been suspended for the
remainder of the year. We regret any
inconvenience this may cause. We, too,
are disappointed that we will not have the opportunity to offer the workshop
this year.
The status of the STEM Workshop for 2014 is still
uncertain.

What are the greatest challenges facing the world today?
Protecting our environment, responding to climate change, developing new sources of energy, repairing our crumbling infrastructure, providing safe drinking water in the developing world, and enhancing human health through biotechnology: These are just a few examples of important problems that can only be solved through science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Yet the U.S. is falling behind other countries in developing the STEM talent needed to tackle these challenges. Founded in 2009, the West Point Center for STEM Education (CSE) is responding to this need with programs designed to inspire, attract, and develop STEM talent for America. Our work is integrated with Army and Department of Defense programs that are also dedicated to enhancing STEM education. |
