The adoption of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) as an educational philosophy helps students explore their potential, to think critically and close the performance gap between American students and those in other countries. CU Science Update’s Dorian-Michelle Smith interviews Stacey Forsyth, Director of CU Science Discovery, who mission is to stimulate scientific interest, understanding and literacy among Colorado’s youth, teachers and families by interfacing with university resources and academic expertise.
