STEM Leadership Alliance Participates in Global Virtual Event with University of the Philippines

sponsors for SLA

Earlier this month, STEM Leadership Alliance founder Kelli List Wells served as a guest speaker at “STEM-agining a Tech-Driven Future: Flexible, Transformative, Limitless,” a virtual event hosted by graduate students in the EDUC 280 program at the University of the Philippines College of Education.

 

The event welcomed nearly 300 high school students from across the Philippines and focused on preparing future-ready learners through emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, robotics, cybersecurity, coding, and sustainability.

 

Kelli was joined by fellow speakers Keith Swanson (Arizona State University, Cybersecurity) and Andy Lee (VEX Robotics), all of whom inspired students to lead with curiosity and embrace innovation in an increasingly tech-driven world.

 

We’re proud to support global conversations that encourage young minds to explore STEM and become the changemakers of tomorrow.

Global STEM Leadership Alliance Summit 2024 - July 21-25!

The 2024 STEM Leadership Alliance Summit brought together leading STEM organizations, educators, industry experts, and policymakers to explore the future of STEM education. The summit featured in-depth discussions on the integration of Artificial Intelligence in the classroom, advancements in Career and Technical Education (CTE), and innovative strategies for workforce development. Attendees participated in interactive workshops, hands-on demonstrations, and collaborative sessions designed to bridge the gap between education and industry. A key focus was ensuring STEM and AI education remain accessible and inclusive for students from diverse backgrounds and abilities. Thank you to all who contributed to the summit’s success—event recordings and additional resources are available on our Events and Resources pages.

ABOUT US

ABOUT
US

The STEM Leadership Alliance (SLA) is a collaboration of the major STEM organizations, education leaders and experts, colleges/universities, businesses, non-profits, and foundations. The STEM Leadership Alliance aims to disrupt and revolutionize STEM education through integration.

​

SLA is committed to bridging the gap between education and industry through advancing STEM experiences for both educators and students to address the business needs of the future.  As a result of these targeted efforts, the Alliance will collectively foster STEM integration in education that prepares preK-12 and post-secondary students with the critical skills needed to compete in a changing global economy. 

 

Too often, school systems across the country teach STEM subjects in silos. As a result, math and science are not coordinated with technology and engineering engagement activities and learning, and STEM is not integrated across subject areas.  SLA seeks to change this in a profound way.  Leveraging proven research and best practices, SLA will implement a disruptive model for STEM integration across the country.  SLA will support educators through professional development, assessing existing structures, and working with districts to build leadership capacity to connect integrated STEM to the needs of the current and future workforce.  By revolutionizing and supporting the way that integrated STEM is taught, the Alliance will advance its agenda of access and equity to prepare all students for success in the future.
