Synopsis

For over 40 years, I have been involved in creating and offering STEM enrichment programs for preschool and elementary, middle, and high school students; teaching and mentoring engineering students; and holding in-service workshops for teachers. Based on these experiences, I am pleased to offer a series of suggestions and activities for parents to consider for helping children pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Our country needs more talented engineers and scientists, if we are to meet the technological challenges we face in the 21st century. Now, parents, with your assistance, the United States can return to international technological eminence. Let’s work together!
