Empire State STEM Learning Network Participate in the creation of the Empire State STEM Learning Network on June 10, 2010, to accelerate the transition from "progressive dialogue" to "progressive community." Diverse stakeholders across the state of New York have recognized the need to advance STEM education: the interdisciplinary teaching and learning of science, technology, engineering and mathematics, to a level of rigor sufficient to produce critical thinkers and problem solvers across all fields of endeavor who can thrive in the 21st century economy. This 2-hour session will feature highlights from the progressive dialogue on STEM education and announcements about actions underway and planned for the future.
