Equity in STEAM Education -- Sally Ride Science STEAM Series

In today's global economy, a high-quality education is no longer
just a pathway to success ̶ it is a prerequisite. Because economic
progress and educational achievement go hand in hand, educating
every American student for success in a new workforce is a national
imperative. However, there are wide disparities in which
students have access to advanced science, technology, engineering,
arts and math (STEAM) education ̶ subjects critical to future
success. In this inaugural Sally Ride STEAM Series event, panelists
Karen Flammer of UC San Diego, Dalouge Smith of the San Diego Youth
Symphony and Conservatory, Heather Lattimer of the University of
San Diego and Francisco Escobedo, the Superintendent of the Chula
Vista Elementary School District, explore the importance of STEAM
to the innovation economy as well as how to best to ensure equity
in education. Series: "STEAM: Adding Arts to STEM Education"
