"Knowledge in science, technology, engineering, and math STEM_ canbe a key to a successful future. Here's why a STEM education matters and how you can inspire students to pursue STEM careers. 80 % of the fastest growing occupations in the United States depend on mastery of mathematics and scientific knowledge and skills, but students are not currently equipped to satisfy this growing need."

I've found that this isn't as easy to set as an objective for learning as it should be... not because of students or teachers, but because administrators are reluctant to "authorize" these kinds of projects without some kind of assurance it won't lead to demands for change in their buildings, and parents are scared their children will be exposed to all the bad things on the Internet. This was especially true in my school in a high-rent district (after all, aren't rich kids more valuable?)
Don't forget to get buy-in from these essential partners BEFORE you start a project that may lead to a learning revolution Not just in your classroom but everywhere! Load your boat before you set sail!

Earlier this year, Joseph Hugo, staff manager for ASTM International Committee D14 on Adhesives, received an unusual telephone call from Wendy Owens, who lives in Olympia, Wash. Owens’ fifth-grade son Dylan was entering the South Sound Regional Science Fair and needed to do some research. Dylan already had a topic for his project: the development of natural adhesives that would be biodegradable. His hypothesis for the project was that natural adhesives with a higher concentration of carbohydrates will have a higher tensile strength than those with a lower carbohydrate concentration...
