Meeting Theme
The 2024 ITEST PI Meeting, Innovating Equitable STEM Learning for the Future Technological Workforce, engaged the ITEST community in workshops designed to unpack project work through the lens of the three ITEST pillars:
- Innovative Use of Technology in Teaching and Learning,
- Partnerships for Career and Workforce Preparation, and
- Strategies for Equity in STEM Education.
Projects participated in interactive community sessions that allowed each participant to rotate through a series of discussions for each of the three ITEST pillars in order to:
- explore how active research and development projects implement the ITEST pillars,
- reflect on what this looks like across grade bands, and
- examine the discoveries and challenges common within each grade band that would be beneficial to both the project and field to discuss
Each session was designed to capture project and partner perspectives; projects were encouraged to bring partners active in the project’s implementation, including practitioners, community, and industry partners.
