Why NASA is betting on teachers to fuel future innovation
In short: NASA isn't just looking at the stars; it is looking at the classroom. This video explores a national initiative designed to bridge the gap between primary education and high-level STEM achievement.
The 'Educate to Innovate' campaign, highlighted by President Obama, aims to elevate student success in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). A core component of this strategy is honoring the educators who provide essential mentoring in these fields.
To turn this vision into action, NASA is launching the Summer of Innovation. This pilot enrichment program partners with private companies, non-profits, and state governments to expand STEM learning during the summer months. Crucially, the initiative prioritizes broadening participation for underrepresented groups to ensure a more diverse pipeline of future innovators.
