In this episode, we’re talking to the Founder and Program Director at NextWave STEM, Udit Agarwal. NextWave STEM provides K-12 students with innovative educational experiences using emerging technologies, in over 200 U.S. schools nationwide. The program is expanding rapidly.
During our talk, Udit goes in-depth about the awesome curricula that the company offers students in schools on subjects like Solar and Renewable Energy, Coding and Robotics, and the Internet of Things.
The fact of the matter is, today's children simply aren’t interested into counting apples and bananas during math class anymore. They’d much rather calculate how much money their school saved by switching to solar panels, data storage related to the Internet of Things, and all sorts of topics that were once considered “too advanced for kids.”
Fortunately, society is waking up to the fact that the limit does not exist for what children can accomplish. But let’s face it, children’s accomplishments *can* be stunted if we adults do not provide them with proper support and resources for exploring their interests and spectacular talents.
Not only does Udit share his outlook on education in America, the economy, and the future of jobs, but we also get his take on the difference between American classrooms versus his educational experience in India before moving to the U.S. as a teen.
