The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) was awarded a $282,759 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program. This grant will support NAS in organizing two national forums, one in-person and one virtual, to bring together NSF's Experiential Learning for Emerging and Novel Technologies (EXLENT) grantees, business and industry leaders, and experts in experiential learning. The forums aim to facilitate dialogue, allow grantees to share experiences, explore strategies for supporting non-traditional learners, and build connections between educators and employers in advanced engineering and technology sectors. By applying an "education ecosystem" approach, the initiative will promote collaboration and synergy across projects and sectors to help bridge the gap between the education and workforce development systems and support the growing demand for a skilled STEM workforce in emerging technology fields.
