  1. Problems of the world... Environmental Degradation Third World Starvation And more...

  2. Choose STEM • You or your friends should choose a STEM major. • Science Technology Engineering & Math

  3. Because... • STEM improves economies, thus improving living conditions and education • Solves problems directly as well • STEM employees are needed, innovation is down, and why not?

  4. A1. STEM Improves Economies • The measured growth of inputs (i.e., in capital and labor) between 1870 and 1950 could only account for about 15% of the actual growth in the output of the economy. -- Nathan Rosenberg, The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)

  5. A2. STEM Improves Economies andStandard of Living, meaning a better life for everyone. GDP per person explains more than 50% of the inter-country variation in life satisfaction, and the estimated relationship is linear. --The Economist

  6. B1. STEM Solved Problems DirectlyIn the Past “He won the Nobel as a result of his work in developing high-yielding wheat varieties and saving millions from food shortages that threatened India and Pakistan in the 1960s. His work nearly eliminated chronic famine in South Asia and helped food production keep up with the demands of growing populations worldwide.” -Texas A&M University Norman Borlaug

  7. B2. STEM Will Solve Problems DirectlyIn the Future Let’s Brainstorm!

  8. C1. STEM Workers are Needed Actually, there aren’t enough STEM majors to fill the available jobs, according to the White House office of Science and Technology Policy there will be a shortfall of 1 million college STEM graduates in the next decade. --President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology

  9. C2. Innovation is Down • “in the 1970s America’s growth in real output per person dropped from its post-second-world-war peak of over 3% a year to just over 2% a year. In the 2000s it tumbled below 1%” -- The Economist

  10. Conclusion • For Economic Improvement • Solves Problems • Relative to the past and to our own goals, our STEM performance is low!

  11. Action Items • Explore STEM Majors • But if you can’t major in STEM • Go to finneganpitchford.com • Bookmark those links and share them and their ideas with your friends.

  12. Food for Thought Simultaneous moral and technological development.
