The Current Educational Situation Several countries have already recognized the value of education as an integralcomponent of economic growth; these countries place great emphases on education, particularlyin fields where there is a large gap between the availability of skilled workers and marketdemands (e.g., the STEM disciplines – science, technology, engineering, and mathematics).There is a large disparity in the quality of mathematics and science

The company mission is to “develop toys thatencourage Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics in children.” The company visionis to “enable children of all ages, genders, ethnicities, and abilities to engage in STEM ininnovative and fun ways.” Each class is assigned a toy they must build, which meets specificcriteria. These toys are fairly simple, like mouse trap cars, rock skippers, trebuchets, pressurerockets, or hot air balloons. The differences between these projects, and something typical HighSchool students may do, are the specific criteria students must meet, and the engineeringprocesses they

While theliterature suggests that better classroom organization is effective in reaching students, educatorsmust also realize that many different learning styles and preferences are represented by thestudents in our classes. Centering the class on an advanced technology or a theme, such as aplant trip or life cycle assessment, can help us better reach the students.
