"It was apparent that learning about the impacts of investments in STEM education, and being able to document those impacts convincingly, had become a matter of great interest. The two days were fascinating, and not without some sparks flying. Many of the people at the workshop had worked quietly and thoughtfully for years to ?measure the immeasurable? Cheers, Alan J. Friedman (Alan Friedman)" |
