Because it\u2019s never too early to engage children in the future of business and industry via today\u2019s science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) programs.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why, at MHI\u2019s annual Executive Summit\u2014held Sunday, October 14 at JW Marriott Grande Lakes in Orlando, FL\u2014we\u2019ll be featuring Don Bossi, president of non-profit <em>FIRST<\/em>\u00ae. The organization actively engages children from kindergarten through high school, helping them build upon their STEM knowledge with mentor-based research and team-based robotics competitions. It also offers participants the opportunity to apply for more than $80 million in college scholarships.<\/p>\n<p>During his presentation, Bossi will detail how <em>FIRST<\/em> fosters the culture of innovation, self-disruption and creativity that will be needed in the next-generation workforce.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs technology changes continuously, the workforce of the future is going to need to be able to draw upon the types of skills that enable them to be flexible, adaptable, life-long learners,\u201d he says. \u201cNot only does their experience on <em>FIRST<\/em> robotics teams make them technically proficient, but they also learn to collaborate, communicate and work with others to solve problems.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bossi describes <em>FIRST<\/em> as a public-private partnership, and notes the critical importance of industry participation in order to maximize the type of impact programs like his have on students\u2019 academic interests and career goals.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mhisolutions-digital.com\/mhiq\/0418_volume_6__issue_4\/MobilePagedArticle.action?articleId=1423660#articleId1423660\"><strong>Read More\u2026<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MHI\u2019s Executive Summit to Feature FIRST\u00ae Robotics Competition Team and Ways to Introduce STEM Students to Supply Chain Careers By Viche Thomas, MHI Career &amp; Technical Education Program Coordinator As part of MHI\u2019s Career &amp; Technical Education (CTE) program and our focus on developing the workforce of the future, we continuously look for opportunities to &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":46,"featured_media":1943,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1942","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-education"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.4 -
