The Opportunity Equation. Transforming Mathematics and Science
Education for Citizenship and the Global Economy

The United States must mobilize for excellence in mathematics and
science education so that all students— not just a select few, or those
fortunate enough to attend certain schools—achieve much higher levels of
math and science learning. Over the coming decades, today’s young people
will depend on the skills and knowledge developed from learning math and
science to analyze problems, imagine solutions, and bring productive new
ideas into being. The nation’s capacity to innovate for economic growth
and the ability of American workers to thrive in the global economy
depend on a broad foundation of math and science learning, as do our
hopes for preserving a vibrant democracy and the promise of social
mobility for young people that lie at the heart of the American dream.

Please help The National Engineers Week Foundation “Million Hours Campaign” reach their goal by the end of 2009.  Approximately 250,000 STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) hours have been logged so far.  Please register on the website and start logging your STEM volunteer hours.

 

From the May 2009 SWE Online Newsletter:

EWeek 2009 "Million Hours Campaign" Promotes Volunteer Engineering Outreach Efforts Every day, engineers around the world volunteer an untold number of hours by reaching out to potential future engineers. National Engineers Week developed the "Million Hours Campaign" to help the world see the collective strength of engineering outreach efforts. Campaign organizers challenged all engineers to not only contribute to outreach activities but to log your volunteer hours on the campaign website. The "Million Hours Campaign" launched in February during Engineers Week 2009 with the goal of reaching one million hours of outreach in STEM education by December 2009. Sign up to log your hours today! SWE is a founding member of the EWeek Diversity Council.
