USA: The Next Generation of Innovators
NASA Television
November 24th, 2009
The resident of the United-States Barack Obama helped launch a new campaign, "Educate to Innovate" designed to energize and excite America's students in science, technology, engineering and mathetics.
According to "The American National Findings on Science Education from Speak Up 2007 Report": << Today’s leading technological thinkers assert that our nation’s people must achieve basic STEM literacy (science, technology, engineering, and math) if we expect to solve the greatest challenges of the 21st century. While some of today’s students will be producers of scientific knowledge, it’s likely that the majority will be knowledge consumers. As democratic decision-makers, all consumers will have an important supporting role in the advancement of science, which will include taking-up new technologies, funding research, and critically assessing the validity of new assertions. Solving 21st century problems will be a collective responsibility.>>
