Attend Today's Conversations @ STEM |

The STEM Center is hosting the final session of Conversations @ STEM until next semester, so don't put it off if you've been meaning to stop by!
Noon-1 p.m.
Today
STEM Resource Center, Vadalabene Center Room 1304
This week we'll be talking about how to define STEM, a topic more difficult than just spelling out an acronym. What topics are covered in the umbrella of STEM? Is it a separate topic from other subjects or something to be integrated into every aspect of education?
Feel free to join us with your opinions and experiences. If you'd like some background reading, contact Colin Wilson at colwils@siue.edu for optional articles.
