Sarah Streitz "Closing the STE...M Gap: Using 21st century
Technology to Integrate Mathematics Effectively" Each one of my
140 Students created two 21st century STEM projects, with the
goal of “Closing the STE....M Gap,” deconstructing applications
from science and engineering classes, creating a “bridge”
between the mathematical theory/ algorithm and the scientific
application. Because of my enthusiasm and support, encouraging
research, problem solving, presenting and publishing, my
students have become fluent with utilizing multiple web tools
and web resources, further preparing themselves for 21st century
learning and living, We have published the best projects on our
public wiki, which is now becoming an international tool used to
close this STE…M gap by both science and math teachers from
around the nation, (while gaining international momentum),
seamlessly integrating mathematics, improving students’
understanding and retention. Please join us
