This book addresses how forwardthinking local communities are integrating precollege STEM education, STEM pedagogy, industry clusters, college programs, and local, state and national policies to improve educational experiences, drive local development, gain competitive advantage for the communities, and lead students to rewarding careers. This book consists of three sections: foundational principles, city/regional case studies from across the globe, and state and national context. The authors explore the hypothesis that when precollege STEM education is integrated with city and regional development, regions can drive a virtuous cycle of education, economic development, and quality of life.Why should precollege STEM education be included in regional technology policy? When local leaders talk about regional policy, they usually talk about how government, universities and industry should work together. This relationship is important, but what about the hundreds of millions of precollege students, taught by tens of millions of teachers, supported by hundreds of thousands of volunteers, who deliver STEM education around the world? Leaders in the communities featured in STEM in the Technopolis have recognized the need to prepare students at an early age, and the power of realworld connections in the process. The authors advocate for this approach to be expanded. They describe how STEM pedagogy, priority industry clusters, crosssector collaboration, and the local incarnations of global development challenges can be made to work together for the good of all citizens in local communities.This book will be of interest to government policymakers, school administrators, industry executives, and nonprofit executives. The book will be useful as a reference to teachers, professors, industry professional volunteers, nonprofit staff, and program leaders who are developing, running, or teaching in STEM programs or working to improve quality of lifein their communities.
