Using the Hudson River as a natural lab for learning, Clarkson’s Beacon Institute connects local students to STEM activities. In the US, jobs in the fields of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) have a supply and demand problem. Due to an array of trends, including the creation of new types of jobs that require STEM skills and lower graduation rates for STEM degrees, there are currently too many jobs and not enough qualified candidates to fill them. This issue was the crux of the last two reports on the state of STEM education from the President s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), published in 2018 and 2012. As both reports acknowledge, the solution isn t as simple as just getting more college students to stick with majors in STEM though that does certainly help.

POTSDAM Despite the pandemic challenges, Clarkson University’s IMPETUS for Career Success program (Integrated Math and Physics for Entry to Undergraduate STEM) continues to thrive and provides students with academic enrichment and research experience in science, mathematics, and technology content areas and consists of summer and academic year components, said a press release from the organization.
The program is for eligible 7th through 12th-grade students and is funded through a New York State Department of Education Science and Technology Entry Program (STEP).
IMPETUS activities range from a computer programming game challenge, conducting original research projects for a statewide competition, interacting with college mentors and licensed STEM professionals, to designing and analyzing a model roller coaster.
