Congrats, Mr. Principal, on your middle school's new STEM curriculum. I hear the kids are going to make a robot move to the right, stop and turn around. How cool is that? The reality: It's not that cool. There's an outsized focus today on science, technology, engineering and math, known as STEM (or STEAM if you prefer to include "arts") and for good reason. Much evidence suggests our children's careers, future industries, and our country's prosperity will increasingly be shaped by these academic areas. So, why are the kids playing games?

 The beginning of every new year spawns a flurry of predictions. This year's predictions in education mark a definite shift in direction. According to experts, education will be moving away from one-size-fits-all assessments and memorizing facts to learning how to make a difference. In the next decade, solving complex problems will be most important for students. Forbes predicts that, instead of an obsession with testing and ranking, cohort education will involve place-based learning experiences. Experiential learning will slowly become the new normal.

More than half of new STEM jobs in New York are in computer science, data shows, but few public high schools in New York offer advanced computer science classes and students are graduating high school ill-prepared to join the booming technology industry. With the goal of narrowing this gap, the Board of the Regents this week moved to approve learning standards for computer science and digital fluency for K-12 schools.

A dozen flyers are taped to the window of Jay Mathis' computer lab at Blacksburg High School. Each sheet, marked at the bottom with the logo of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, publicizes nuggets about various jobs in the broad field of computers. (For example: a duty of a cyber forensics expert is to investigate data breaches and security incidents.) That job can earn a median annual salary of about $70,000 and requires a bachelor's degree in either cybersecurity or computer science, according to the literature.

We are at the beginning of a 4th industrial revolution and educators are faced with preparing a generation of students for many jobs that don't even exist yet. Since the term STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) was coined back in 2001, there has been growing interest in this learning philosophy to better prepare today's students for tomorrow's jobs. However, to adequately prepare the future workforce, another acronym is gaining popularity: STEAM, which adds arts to the mix.
