Maya Salam, a contributor for The New York Times, writes: "I have six nieces between the ages of 10 and 19, and over the years, I’ve spent many hours staring at them hunched over small screens, hypnotized by the glowing light and tapping away like mad. So much for quality time with their adoring auntie. I usually manage to temper my impulse to snatch the device from their fingers, though — in part because I know that being well-versed in technology, particularly as girls, is going to serve them well: Over the last decade, opportunities in STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, math) have grown three times faster than in non-STEM fields, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce."

While introducing key players on his economic-development team recently, Gov. Ned Lamont made it a point to mention the state's win last year in convincing India-based tech giant Infosys to open an innovation hub in Hartford, where the company plans to hire about 1,000 new workers over the next few years. Those are precisely the 21st-century digital jobs Connecticut wants to see more of, but tech jobs require tech talent and the state is currently experiencing a significant worker shortage in this area.

North Dakota is looking to make computer science and cybersecurity courses accessible to all students across the state. A group of educators completed a final draft of K-12 computer science and cybersecurity standards, which, pending State Superintendent Kirsten Baesler's approval, will go into effect this fall. These academic standards are not mandatory, as cybersecurity and computer science are not required courses of instruction. But Baesler said the overall goal of these standards is to ensure all students have an equal opportunity to learn computer science.

A Stanford experiment found that low-income high schoolers who rechannel their "negative emotions" during STEM testing can do better on the tests — and the course. According to a paper published on the findings, by learning how to regulate their emotions, half as many students failed the course as a control group that didn't undergo those activities. The "large-scale" field test involving 1,175 students was conducted in ninth-grade science classrooms.
