“The Great Debate” – sponsored by Sandia National Laboratories

Is the schooling system so badly out of touch with 21st century needs and digital kids’ motivations that nothing less than reinventing education will work? Or could a powerful approach to STEM education evolve out of current curriculum standards, tests, and accountability measures by adding funding and by working in a more thoughtful and coherent way? If only transformation will work, rather than evolution, what is the evidence that NM is well poised to take such a leap into the unknown? 

Moderator/Questions - Marina Leight, Editor, Converge Magazine
