Macmillan Learning, a premier educational solutions company, has launched their fifth annual Executive STEM Summit in partnership with Scientific American. The two-day event brought together leaders from education, business, technology, policy and research communities to debate the most critical issues facing STEM education.
The robust line-up of speakers from Chevron, Microsoft, XPRIZE, Project Lead The Way, Volley.com, Georgia Institute of Technology and University of Massachusetts Amherst's Center of Knowledge and more spoke on the role of technology in all levels of education. Topics ranging from digital engagement, diversity, technology, and policy, the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education quickly became a focus.
Attendees debated the role digital tools have in teaching today's students in providing greater access and exposure to content and ideas, but noted that STEM courses specifically could be greatly enhanced by the kind of support AI would offer. Exploring the kinds of technological changes available in other industries becomes a critical mandate for learning solution providers.
