21st Century Skills • “…an entire generation of kids will fail to make the grade in the global economy because they can’t think their way through abstract problems, work in teams, distinguish good information from bad, or speak a language other than English.” -How to Build a Student for the 21st Century, TIME Magazine, December 18, 2006

STEM Coalition • STEM Coalition believe that all nations must improve the way our students learn science, mathematics, technology and engineering and that the business, education, and STEM communities must work together to achieve this goal.
HP Catalyst Initiative • HP is building a global network of consortia that is developing more effective approaches to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education. The goal is to transform STEM learning and teaching, and to inspire students to use their technical and creative ingenuity to address urgent social challenges in their communities and around the world.
Creating global STEMexcitement and standards is the grand vision of HP Catalystproject
