On Wednesday, Feb. 8, U.S. Deputy Secretary of Education  Cindy Marten will continue her “Raise the Bar: Lead the World” tour by  traveling to the Brooklyn STEAM Center in New York City, to discuss how they  can continue to promote academic excellence and prepare students for global  competitiveness. She will tour the facility to see the STEAM Center model in  action and then will take part in a panel discussion with students, parents,  and industry partners about how the STEAM Center model is raising the bar in education.
The Brooklyn STEAM Center delivers innovative,  industry-informed experiences which empower students to take charge of their  futures, and creates a diverse, skilled talent pipeline for the technology and  manufacturing industries. The students can choose from six pathways under the  Career & Technical Education program model. Each program is approved by the  New York State Education Department and features an industry-approved  curriculum, engaging partnerships, supportive work-based learning experiences  including an internship program, and stackable industry credentials. The six  programs are: Cybersecurity, Full-Stack Development, Construction  Technology, Culinary Arts & Hospitality Management, Design &  Engineering, and Film & Media.
The “Raise the Bar” tour kicked off last month and comes  on the heels of U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona’s recent major address, “Raise the Bar: Lead  the World,” where he laid out the U.S. Department of Education’s  vision, his continued priorities to promote academic excellence and prepare for  global competitiveness, and the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to  ensuring states, school districts, and schools have the support they need to  prepare students for the 21st century global economy. The tour will continue in  other states, which will be announced later.
