A growing global interest in STEM education can have the power to reshape how schools, industries, and communities collaborate, and Courtney Quarterman, a K-16 Innovator and Partnership Strategist and PhD Data Science student, recognizes this advantage and has centered her practice around it. Driven by her vision to connect students to meaningful opportunities, Quarterman has been designing systems aimed at elevating educators and aligning real-world needs with learning experiences.
"It really is about building a STEM ecosystem," she explains. For her, driving innovation begins with a commitment to expanding opportunity and cultivating problem solvers who can shape tomorrow's workforce, and that begins with a quality STEM education.
