Great press conference this morning! I was invited to Governor Branstand's Scale Up announcement this morning. Results of the second year of the Iowa STEM Initiative show that 3/4 of leaders feel more confident, an increase in interest in pursuing STEM careers, and an increase in understanding. The report is huge. I will report more data after I finish reading it. Camp in a Can is so fortunate to be a part of the 2013-14 year.
