The MENA STEM Summit brings together educational professionals specialising in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) with industry members in the MENA region. The mission is to advance K – 12 STEM education, and this Summit will offer lessons learned from programs around the world and help to develop an action plan to increase quality and innovation in STEM education throughout the region.
Kevin Simpson, KDSL Managing Director, says, “We are excited to coordinate a STEM Summit in Dubai to highlight what programs look like from around the region and the world.” The event will be a professionally rewarding two days packed with keynote addresses, breakout sessions and networking opportunities, all designed to provide participants with practical tips towards supporting a clear vision of STEM education.
Dr. Carolyn Hayes, National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) President, says, “The STEM Summit will be an opportunity for collaboration among those who attend as well as an opportunity to recognise the value when the STEM subjects are truly integrated in a curriculum.”
