Summer Camps and Tech Challenges Prepare Next Generation Scientists, Engineers

Wednesday, July 15, 2009

The lazy days of summer may be the most challenging time to keep students and teachers motivated and engaged in academics.

And, with the Obama Administration's pledge to make math and science education a national priority, now may be an opportune time for collaboration among federal and state agencies, private foundations, and industry to reverse the U.S. decline in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields.

A recent study examining best practices for supporting new company formation finds it is the synergy among multiple practices, policies and services that produces optimal outcomes.
