Equity, Innovation and STEAM – Strengthening the research & development Connections

The Innovation Collaborative, in partnership with the National Science Foundation and Texas Southern University (TSU), hosted a national STEAM Out-of-School-Time conference at TSU in Houston, in July. Given the dynamic nature of this important conference, the Collaborative wanted to get real-time reflections from some of the key attendees. Towards that, midway through the in-person convening, we did a series of short video interviews with several attendees, asking them to share their perspective on the conference and STEAM education in general. We'll be posting future updates here, or visit the Innovation Collaborative's Youtube channel www.youtube.com/@TheInnovationCollaborative​.
