Ideas / by Maywa Montenegro /
It’s no secret: American children are behind in math and science, and falling faster by the year. For a group of innovative thinkers gathering in Washington DC, restoring “STEM” in America must go beyond multiplication drills, beyond the latest in computer apps. It’s time to re-imagine science learning altogether, they say: it’s time for wood and clay, watercolor and chalk.
