STEM skills are in greater demand now more than ever, but some marginalized student groups need expanded access to STEM pathways. During the edLeader Panel “Boost STEM Anywhere with UDL + Drones: CAST Take Flight,” Dr. Amanda Bastoni, Senior Director of Workforce and Higher Education Implementation at CAST, spoke with Chris Hesselbein, Director of Northwest STEM Hub, Laurie Prewandowski, Digital Learning Specialist at Kearsarge Regional School District (NH), Dr. Jessica Hall, Senior Research Scientist at CAST, and Adrienne White, Director of Marketing at Robolink, about how the Take Flight program uses drones and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to help all students grow and thrive in STEM.
With resources stretched and funding unpredictable, sustainable, smart edtech investments set schools up for long-term impact. New research from Logitech and THE Journal sheds light on today’s purchasing priorities and what drives confident decision making in schools.
