The impact of COVID-19, equity gaps, and the changing perspectives of stakeholders will all be discussed.

The Town Hall meetings are critically important now with a new administration. Vincent Stewart, executive director of the California STEM Network, a project of Children Now and a strong leader in the SLECoP community, explains “As a new administration takes office in Washington, D.C., it’s essential that STEM leaders across the nation share the challenges and opportunities facing STEM education so all students can benefit and build the critical-thinking and problem-solving skills needed to succeed in life.”
