This year's California STEM Symposium takes place from October 29 to October 30, 2015 at the Anaheim Convention Center. Now in it's third year, the California STEM Symposium continues to improve STEM instruction by defining the "how" or how to teach and integrate STEM subject matter and how to make it relevant and engaging for all students, as well as connect teachers and organizations that are working to build tomorrow's STEM workforce with like-minded partners and resources.
Project Tomorrow is excited to host two sessions at this year's event! If you are attending this year's symposium, be sure to mark your calendars for the following sessions:
The Gender Divide and Digital Learning in STEM Fields

Presented by Ann McMullan, Project Tomorrow Consultant
Speak Up Project Research annually demonstrates the connection between gender differences in students’ use of digital resources for learning, and how girls want to use technology to explore STEM fields. This session will review the latest CA Speak Up results and discuss promising practices for erasing gender divides in learning.
Recruiting the Next Generation of STEM Teachers Through YouthTEACH2Learn
Thursday, October 29
