Dr. Petrosino Takes Part in International Conference: STEM City Global Summit.

On Tuesday, September 29, SAMSAT will be the lead host for the STEM City Global Summit. The summit is based on the book STEM in the Technopolis: The Power of STEM Education in Regional Technology Policy. The books's development was led by SAMSAT Chief Learning Officer Dr. Cliff Zintgraff. The summit will cover principles of partnerships between K-12, academic, industry, government, and non-profits, and features cases from the U.S., México, Colombia, Brazil, Portugal and Qatar.

I contributed a chapter for the book and was asked to take part in this International conference-- it was a great honor.

Mission: Deliver a series of half-day online summits about STEM education in the context of city and regional priorities, from locations around the world.  The summits will feature cross-sector collaborations between K-12, academia, industry, governments, and non-profits, with strong inclusion of K-12 education.  We’ll focus on the principles and on cases that exhibit great STEMeducation experiences for students, families and communities, and on how the programs receive and give benefits to the cities and regions where they live.


  • NOTE: The Summit Team is intentionally designed to encourage participation at whatever level makes sense for your situation.  Whether large or limited, your participation is encouraged and welcomed.
