Inspiring day at the STEM Connect Series event hosted by our partner, Omaha STEM Ecosystem, at Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium. Hope and Innovation with Jaime Casap, the visionary former Google Chief Educational Evangelist who launched Chromebooks, a tool for K-12 and higher education. Thought-provoking insights on education, technology, and the future of work. His theme, "Being More Human in the Age of Robots," challenged and inspired educators, business professionals, and industry leaders, underscoring the importance of early STEM education and practical learning experiences in preparing the next generation for the new age of work. The event not only spotlighted educational innovation but also emphasized the role of the community in nurturing the future workforce. And hey, let's talk about something Jaime said that really stuck with me. "I often hear people say, 'I am not techy.' You know what? That's a choice, not a limitation." It's like me and cooking. I've been married to a professional chef for 8 years, but can I cook? Nope! Because I choose not to learn. If I really wanted to, I'm sure I'd be whipping up gourmet meals by now. It's the same with tech. 'If you want to do something, you'll find a way. If you don't, you'll find excuses. Make that choice to learn, grow, and embrace the tech world. #neverstoplearning #getintotech AIM Institute #STEM #stemcareers

In today's tech-driven world, experiential learning is the key to engaging the video game-obsessed youth! Check out our latest blog post to discover why hands-on education matters now more than ever. #dronetechnology
Prepare your tech-savvy learners for a future filled with innovation and endless possibilities! Passive learning, such as watching videos or reading textbooks, can lead to a shallow understanding of concepts. Experiential learning requires active participation, which deepens comprehension and retention. Students are more likely to remember and apply what they've learned when they've actively engaged with the material. #dronetechnology #dronesforgood #stemeducation #stemlearning #careerexploration #youthprograms #stemprogram
