Mathematics and Science Partnerships:Leveraging Business for STEM Education Reform

February 16, 2011

Yikes!

• US consumers spend much more on potato chips than the government spends on energy R&D

• 49% of American adults do not know how long it takes for the Earth to revolve around the Sun

• Only four of the top ten companies receiving US patents last year were US companies

• Americans 8—18 years old average 7.5 hours/day on video games, TV & computers

Solving America’s Innovation Problem

• Independent non-partisan, non-profit voice engaged in public/private partnerships

• Align corporate efforts to help ensure that STEM investments add up to measurable growth- A literate nation not only reads, it calculates,

analyzes and innovates.

• Like-minded leaders have a much bigger impact together than they do separately

Goals: Not Ours Alone

• Great Teaching. Improving STEM teaching at all grade levels, with a larger and more diverse cadre of highly-capable and inspirational STEM teachers
