STEM in the Technopolis: The Power of STEM Education in Regional Technology Policy

The book "STEM in the Technopolis: The Power of STEM Education in Regional Technology Policy" examines how innovative local communities integrate pre-college STEM education, teaching methods, industry clusters, higher education programs, as well as local, state, and national policies to enhance educational experiences and drive local development. It is argued that linking STEM education with regional development can create a positive cycle of education, economic development, and quality of life. The book is divided into three sections: fundamental principles, case studies from various cities and regions around the world, and the state and national context. The authors argue that early preparation of students for STEM subjects and the creation of real-world connections are crucial for community development.
