This book consists of three sections: foundational principles, city/regional case studies from across the globe, and state and national context. The authors explore the hypothesis that when pre-college STEM education is integrated with city and regional development, regions can drive a virtuous cycle of education, economic development, and quality of life. Why should pre-college STEM education be included in regional technology policy? When local leaders talk about regional policy, they usually talk about how government, universities and industry should work together. This relationship is important, but what about the hundreds of millions of pre-college students, taught by tens of millions of teachers, supported by hundreds of thousands of volunteers, who deliver STEM education around the world? Leaders in the communities featured in STEM in the Technopolis have recognized the need to prepare students at an early age, and the power of real-world connections in the process. The authors advocate for this approach to be expanded. They describe how STEM pedagogy, priority industry clusters, cross-sector collaboration, and the local incarnations of global development challenges can be made to work together for the good of all citizens in local communities. This book will be of interest to government policymakers, school administrators, industry executives, and non-profit executives. The book will be useful as a reference to teachers, professors, industry professional volunteers, non-profit staff, and program leaders who are developing, running, or teaching in STEM programs or working to improve quality of life in their communities. 606 $aScience education 606 $aTechnical education 606 $aMathematics?Study and teaching  606 $aEducational policy 606 $aEducation and state 606 $aEducational technology 606 $aScience Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O27000 606 $aEngineering/Technology Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O43000 606 $aMathematics Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O25000 606 $aEducational Policy and Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O19000 606 $aEducational Technology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O21000 615 0$aScience education. 615 0$aTechnical education. 615 0$aMathematics?Study and teaching . 615 0$aEducational policy. 615 0$aEducation and state. 615 0$aEducational technology. 615 14$aScience Education. 615 24$aEngineering/Technology Education. 615 24$aMathematics Education. 615 24$aEducational Policy and Politics. 615 24$aEducational Technology. 676 $a507.1 676 $a507.1 702 $aZintgraff$b Cliff$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSuh$b Sang C$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aKellison$b Bruce$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aResta$b Paul E$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910410010403321 996 $aSTEM in the Technopolis: The Power of STEM Education in Regional Technology Policy$91990805 997 $aUNINA
