With the rate of scientific discovery and technological innovation
continuing to accelerate, there is a critical need to look at learning in a new way. Instructional practice must move forward to keep pace in producing students who are prepared to meet the challenges of tomorrow. By having learners
participate in the actual process of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, we can help them gain a rich understanding of core principles in these disciplines."
