On Tuesday, December 7, a live digital town hall discussion took place on how we can create the next generation of innovators. This event explored how we can cultivate tomorrow's thinkers and entrepreneurs to sustain economic and educational success. Below is a link to the webcast where you can see:
- An announcement from Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and Angel Gurría, Secretary General of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), on the standing of U.S. students in reading, math and science literacy compared to other countries around the world;
- A two-way conversation with Secretary Duncan and students, teachers and administrators from Olin College of Engineering (Needham, Mass.) and the School of Science and Engineering Magnet (Dallas, TX);
- Robert D. Atkinson, President of The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation discuss the results from a new report on science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education released that morning; and
- An interview with Thomas L. Friedman on U.S. competitiveness, innovation and economic growth.
The video is well worth the 2 plus hours of your time.
