Preparing Girls for a Future in Science
I recently attended the National Science Teacher Association’s 2010 National Conference on Science Education held in Philadelphia, March 18 – 21. In light of President Obama’s November 2009 announcement of his “Education to Innovate” campaign designating increased funding for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, a large number of conference sessions, seminars, and speakers focused on ways to create and continue the improvement in the areas of STEM education inside and outside of the classroom.

Just last week, President Obama announced a $250 million funding package new and innovative public-private partnerships with companies, universities, foundations, and government agencies to reward and encourage outstanding educators in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). In addition, the President honored over 100 outstanding mathematics and science educators for excellence in teaching and mentoring.
