STEM Education: Developing 21st century problem solvers

National Teacher of the Year Finalist, Rob Stephenson, presents instructional strategies and the integration of STEM education challenges in his third grade classroom. He articulates why STEM education needs to become a part of every child's learning experience at home, at school, and within the community. Mr. Stephenson gives stakeholders practical advice on how adults can foster and protect children's natural desire to discover and invent in order to stimulate the next generation of perseverant problem-solvers.
Rob is the 2010 National Teacher of the Year Finalist, 2009-2010 Michigan Teacher of the Year, 2006 Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching, SMART Exemplary Educator, and WKAR PBS Television "Science Minute" Host... What else can we say?

    I love this video. I loved Edison's quote: "I did not fail once. I found 1000 ways it didn't work." As teachers and professors, we need to foster perseverance, teach our children to stay with the problem longer, collaborate with each other, build and create. Demonstrations and exercises are very engaging to students and foster exploration and problem solving. Thank you for posting this.

    I am a UK teacher . I really got a lot from your talk. This really corresponded with my thoughts and approach. There is still a lot of focus on knowledge content in UK schools rather than exploration. Steve Manifold

    We need to make the arts vital again! STEM has been overemphasised in education during the 21st Century, especially in the UK, thanks to the supposed ‘increased competitiveness in industry in the modern age’. Parents are being brainwashed into thinking that science and maths are what their children need to study in order to stay afloat in the modern world. But this isn’t always true. The arts, particularly music for some reason, are lacking the same funding as STEM in primary and secondary schools and aren’t being stressed as important. If there is no good art in the highly technologically advanced world we’re aiming to make, what will we have advanced for? Winston Churchill famously said: “The arts are essen­tial to any com­plete national life. The State owes it to itself to sus­tain and encour­age them. [...] Ill fares the race which fails to salute the arts with the rev­er­ence and delight which are their due.” And when he was asked to cut funding to the arts to invest more fully in the war effort, he simply replied: “then what are we fighting for?”.

    The value of a STEM education is now gone. The truth is there are no jobs for the STEM educated, because they cost too much to employ, in America. There is no point in learning Calculus if in the end you cost too much to employ. This is the environment students are facing, today, in America when they leave school. I am STEM educated and have industry experience. I know what's true. The truth is the value of a STEM education in America is now gone. It was here, but now it is gone. America, you are buying technology that will not employ you nor your kids.

    Oh boi I have evidence (isn't that great? evidence!) Although you're probably trolling us all, I feel like barfing my perspective on this issue anyways. Here goes: The U.S. Department of Commerce released a document stating that STEM job opportunities are projected to grow at a faster rate than non-STEM jobs. Looking back, the number of STEM workers has grown 5.5% over the last five years. So yes! There are STEM jobs in America! As for the pay, STEM workers are paid (on average) $10.94 higher than the average non-STEM worker. In the US, a web designer with as little as anAs someone who lives in the Silicon Valley, it may seem as if STEM jobs are saturated in a few locations, which might lead to your thinking that STEM careers are in decline. Welp thanks for reading I'm going to disappear now bye

    Most successful people in STEM actually become entrepreneurs, it is either you went to study STEM because of money, or you studied STEM because you loved it and you enjoy it regardless if you are merely a clerk like Einstein or a billionaire like Elon Musk.
