Innovating approaches to STEM

Education in science, technology, engineering, math, computer science, and other high tech 21st century skills (STEMx) is key to social innovation and economic opportunity. HP launched the Catalyst Initiative to explore how technology can be used to create powerful STEMx learning experiences -- and the new HP Catalyst Academy offers a rich range of mini-courses that will assist teachers in implementing these innovations.
