The Importance of Elementary Science Education on Community Health |
|
What: Nevada Public Health ECHO Series
Presented by: The Nevada Public Health Training Center and the University of Nevada School of Medicine Over the last generation, there have been significant structural changes in public education that deprioritize science education. In a time when STEM careers have labor shortages, our elementary schools are teaching about an hour of science a week. In this talk we will briefly explore the history of science education over the last 20 years and what this means for the health of our communities as today’s youth join the workforce. We will also dive into what Sierra Nevada Journeys and other local initiatives are doing to prepare our children for future STEM careers in the 21st Century.
