Ada Lovelace Day highlights the achievements of women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Launched in 2009 as a celebration of women in science, the event promotes programs that encourage girls and women to pursue careers in STEM. A daughter of Lord Byron, Ada Lovelace is widely known as the first person to recognize the potential of early computers and published what is known as an algorithm. Before most others, Lovelace recognized that computers could do more than simple number-crunching, opening the door to complex functions and ushering in the modern era of computing.

Are you curious about how children as young as 3 can be engineers? Wondering why encouraging children and youth to think like engineers is so important? Check out this great interview with our EiE/YES founder and leader Christine Cunningham and WBUR Radio Boston. https://lnkd.in/eGGThKYR ...and download resources and curricula for free at yes.mos.org Museum of Science & YES- Youth Engineering Solutions #STEMlearning #creativethinking #problemsolving #STEMcurriculum

Scientific and technological advancement shape societal progress, but a critical issue persists; underrepresentation in #STEM fields, particularly in communities of color. If this topic is of interest to you, we encourage you to join the Engaging Underrepresented Groups in STEM learning track during the Tennessee STEM Innovation Summit 2024: Driving Change. Click here to learn more about the summit and the learning track: https://lnkd.in/gcyXK2mq In this report, STEMconnector examines this gap and the need for focused, strategic efforts, innovative solutions, and the transformative power and potential of partnerships with Minority Serving Institutions.

Should AI generate your medical answers? More than half the time doctors—in this study—believed AI answers were from humans. https://lnkd.in/gJn-r6bj Studies show promise but does the phrase “AI Doctor” increase the importance of knowing who’s programming (training the LLM of) your doctor? I’d like a guarantee that the AI “trainers” of medical advise share my closely held belief about the sanctity of life (mine, ours, hers, his, that child’s, all of us…) from a Biblical worldview. HOW IMPORTANT is it to ensure that funding goes into SAFE, HEALTHY, SANE, Christian research and development before new tech gets “tested” on your children? Consider education. How much R&D should be applied to improve the offerings of America’s Christian schools? We have more than 40M Christian students in America yet Wiki reports only 4M students in Christian schools. This is why Lifeverse is heading up a not-for-profit R&D initiative to bless Christian educators right now. The Education for Digital Natives—EDN—initiative. Imagine EVERY Christian school benefiting from the opportunity to utilize EDN classrooms to offer better, lower cost, scalable education in their Lifeverse (VR) campuses and communities. Imagine the number of children in Christian schools doubling nationwide (then worldwide). These are our goals. If your ministry shares our goals—right now—you can reach out to discuss the opportunity to lock arms with Lifeverse to create a legacy of Kingdom breakthroughs.

Kids’ interest in STEM subjects starts to decline by age 15. To help understand why, UScellular teamed up with YWCA and Dr. Richard Rende to explore what’s needed in STEM programs to reverse the decline. YWCA added those vital areas to its own TechGYRLS program guide to be rolled out this fall.
