THE Journal
When we discuss STEM education, it's easy to focus on acts of teaching and learning. But if our vision of STEM is only confined to the classroom, we risk ignoring a large portion of what the true essence of STEM education is all about. It is more than just a collection of subjects taught in isolation. In its truest form, STEM is a state of mind: a practice of critical thinking and problem-solving that learners engage in throughout life.

A 2018 study finding a "gender-equality paradox" in science, technology, engineering and math was controversial for obvious reasons: if there is an inverse relationship between how egalitarian a society is and how many of its women pursue STEM degrees, as the paper suggested, then maybe efforts to push girls and women into these fields are pointless.

The American Genius
Technology changes quickly, and so does the skillset requirement by companies. Many people are finding themselves in the stage of their career path where they may want to try something new — and, not surprisingly, make a nice salary doing it. The launch of coding bootcamps (starting with Code Academy and 2011) has been touted as the solution to educate those on a missing skillset and setting them up for well-paying J-O-Bs. While they intended to meet people where they were with an online platform (offering flexibility to the students and teachers), coding schools have left a little bit to desire by its participants. The learning opportunities are constantly changing. The teachers are also not always available and most likely have other full-time obligations or employment.

John Barcus writes: "I bought a 3D printer about 18 months ago, and for most of that time, it sat idle (early on I made a 3D cat for display). That changed when my daughter and grandson came to visit.
During the wrestling match associated with disembarking from the car, the push-button latch on my grandson's 50-pound, rear-facing car seat broke, rendering the expensive contraption useless."

We've heard a lot about the maker movement and the power of making to transform learning and empower students. But the reality is that only some K-12 educators are a part of that movement. That's what researchers heard again and again over the course of a five month research project to understand how educators are incorporating making concepts and activities into their practice.

Artificial intelligence — code that learns — is likely to be humankind's most important invention. It's a 60-year-old idea that took off five years ago when fast chips enabled massive computing and sensors, cameras, and robots fed data-hungry algorithms.
We're a couple of years into a new age where machine learning (a functional subset of AI), big data and enabling technologies are transforming every sector.

Darren Hoffmann writes: "I prided myself on being a great teacher. In every possible sense — a good explainer, an innovator, a student advocate. And I was killing it in the lecture hall and in the lab, teaching in the ways that I learned from my great teaching mentors. So how was it that after seven years of working with 3D anatomy technologies as a product developer, I wasn't really using the technology that much in my teaching?"

They're taking part in workshops run by STEM From Dance, a non-profit that hopes to encourage more Black and Latina girls to choose a career in STEM (Science, Technology, Enigeering and Math). This group currently represent only 4% of STEM graduates in the USA, which means that when they do choose to follow a science or technology degree, they'll often feel out of place.
