“BHS is an established leader in stimulating and supporting scientific exchange across borders.” “The BHS Meeting is an exciting opportunity for scientists, young and old, to come together to share the latest k-16 STEM education, exchange ideas, forge new collaborations.”
Boasting a speaker faculty of more than 25 well-known expert in STEM, The STEM conference offers a pre-college STEM program that spans the STEM middle and high school disciplines with keynote addresses and plenary sessions focused in a broad cross-section of researchers from all fields of STEM, ranging from agri-science, forest, to computational biology, neuroscience, mathematics, engineering and plant science. This year, 3 scientists will be recognized for their contributions to preparing students in the STEMS pre-college preparation, majors and careers. Workshops and poster sessions will further extend these disciplines and address additional current topics, ensuring a blend of subjects relevant to present-day STEM pre-college programs.
This annual event aims to bring experts, administrators, academic leaders, teachers and students together in a friendly atmosphere for them to share their experiences, meet others and establish new collaborations, discuss STEM programs, curriculums and contacts. Each expert can present his/her work with prior submission of a short abstract, which is also published in the meeting booklet. Fellows have the opportunity to meet the BHS and Smithsonian’s Natural History Museum Institute STEM team and give feed-back and suggestions on the activity of the program.
