Ed Swallow talks about the importance of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education in today’s fast-paced economy.
Swallow founded the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) STEM Workforce Division in 2008 as a way to build STEM learning network. He has partnered with WashingtonExec in the National Capital region to build our STEM Council and assist with our second annual STEM Symposium (scheduled for March 7, 2015).
Swallow notes the key to STEM engagement is “getting kids excited at an early age about why science and math matter.”
