Last week, Eric Schwarz, Co-Founder and CEO of Citizen Schools and Executive Chairman of US2020, joined POLITICO Pro’s Tech Deep Dive: STEM Policy’s Next Steps. Joined by Tom Kalil, Deputy Director for Technology and Innovation for The White House, and others the conversation centered on the state of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education, implications on the next STEM workforce, and upcoming STEM policy measures  in the next year.

“At the end of the day, if we’re going to get where we want to go as a country … it is going to take many more successes for young people in elementary school, middle school and high school. That can happen in our schools,” Schwarz said. Read the article and watch the panel discussion.
