Macmillan Learning, an educational solutions and insights provider and Scientific American have elected to move their annual STEM Education Summit to Austin from its home in NYC. The move is in recognition of Austin's role as an incubator for groundbreaking education technology, and the importance of Texas in setting national standards for education. Over the past five years, the STEM Summit has attracted an array of notable speakers and attendees, including award-winning actor and author, Alan Alda; former CEO and Chairman of the Board Intel Corporation, Craig Barrett; former Executive Director of STEM at the U.S. Department of Education, Russell Shilling; and CEO of Change the Equation, Dr. Linda Rosen.
Co-hosted by Scientific American editor-in-chief Mariette DiChristina and Macmillan Learning GM Susan Winslow, this year's program includes leading academics Carol Fletcher, Deputy Director of The Center For Stem Education, UT Austin, and Sylvester Gates Jr., Theoretical Physicist, Presidential Scholars Program, Brown University. Fletcher and Gates will be joined by executives from leading STEM-related companies and foundations, including Dan Russell, head of Search Quality & User Happiness at Google; JoJo Bahnam, VP of Advancement and Strategic Relations at XPRIZE; and Janet Auer, head of Education Services at Chevron.
