Education in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) is a priority for policymakers that want the United States to remain competitive in these fields. While this discussion has gone on for some time, the rapid pace of technological advancement makes STEM education an increasingly urgent topic.

To address these topics, the Brookings Institution recently hosted Charles Bolden, the administrator of NASA, and Dean Kamen, and founder of For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST).
