2021 Alamo STEM Ecosystem Virtual Conference

SA Smart--The Mayor's K-12 Smart City Challenge (www.sa-smart.org)--develops 21st Century students by first preparing them and then cutting them loose to address the big challenges of our city. Since 2018, 550 7th to 12th grade students have researched and pitched ideas to solve challenges in transportation, sustainability, and digital inclusion. In the process, they learn STEM topics, civics, research methods, teamwork, and how to construct a compelling and evidence-based narrative. They're supported by subject matter experts, entrepreneurship trainers, their teachers, and the staff members of our partner organizations. Some of these students will get on career paths to high-wage jobs, and some will be future leaders of our city. Join us to learn about the program and hear perspectives from staff, teachers and student participants.
