STEM education initiatives are among the most popular recipients of philanthropic support from technology companies and others shaping the future of work. I spoke with MIT Professor and former Deputy Mayor of New York City Phil Thompson about how to advance equity in STEM education by expanding our ideas about what that education truly is.
One topic Phil and I have discussed in the past but did not make it to our brief, edited discussion is his curiosity about the power of online learning and gameification to promote critical thinking.
