As part of HP Global Social Innovation, the HP Catalyst Innovation is building a global network of consortial to develop more effective approaches to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM+) education. “By bringing together organizations that now work independently to create a global network of consortia that provide a cohesive, student-centered approach to STEM+ education, HP can be a catalyst for innovation that improves student performance. Through this initiative, HP is joining education leaders in collaborative ventures that address STEM+ education in new ways.”
This initiative will fund up to five consortia in the year 2010. Each consortia will focus upon a specific innovation theme for transforming STEM education. The themes include Multi-Versity, Pedagoy 3.0, Global Collaboratory, The New Learner and Measuring Learning.
