The Education BLAST OFF is an educational component bringing 300 young people into direct contact with leading edge computer technology. The education session will focus on innovative uses of technology in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). Sponsoring organizations will each set up a learning environment showcasing the technologies they use to engage students. (For example, Raytheon, which has an ongoing initiative called “Math Moves You,” will lead the math effort.) Students will be able to move among the presentations and speak directly with individuals who are trailblazers in their careers. IT leaders will discuss their responses to challenges during the lifelong journey to achieve their goals. In addition, the session will use Cisco’s massive networking resources to create a large “telepresence” for the education session.
