Washington, D.C.— Dialogue on Diversity presented its twenty fifth annual Entrepreneurship/IT Conference, STEAM — Power the XXI Century, Friday, September 7, at the Rayburn House Office Building on Capitol Hill. This year’s agenda laid a heavy emphasis on technology studies, which are best begun at the elementary school level. Computer programing languages, like other languages, are most efficiently learned before the age of approximately fourteen years. STEM (the classic quartet of Tech studies: Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) must form an early (to be sure, age-adjusted) phase in a years’ long education tailored to the technological needs of advanced societies worldwide.
The firm stress on Tech is the theme powering an increasing number of organizations, public and charter schools, private academies, and often adult-directed commercial schools as well, as they promote the sharp focus on STEM, and in particular the on basic skill of “coding”: the formulation and entry on your own keyboard of computer-understandable instructions for performing the swift and often quite complex tasks of managing words, diagrams, algebraic expressions, and the universe of languages.
We welcome 2018 Award Recipients for this year’s presentation. Watch for the 2019 version of the Awards for Dialogue on Diversity’s 26th presentation of the Entrepreneurship / IT Conference. Visit us at www.dialogueondiversity.org T. 703-631-0650  e-mail: dialog.div@prodigy.net
