In spring 2022, IMA and EdSystems of Northern Illinois University launched the Scaling Transformative Advanced Manufacturing Pathways (STAMP) to boost skilled manufacturing workforce in Illinois and advance equity. In eight regions across Illinois, STAMP supports pathways for secondary students, focusing on historically marginalized students in under-represented groups. At the recent showcase, leaders highlighted efforts to create equitable manufacturing pathways. View the webinar to see how STAMP is expanding access to manufacturing jobs across the state! https://ow.ly/PSJS50SnWfW

Here is a wonderful article covering one of the undergraduate researchers in my lab: Branden Spitzer, who is working on mycelium-based biotic materials found in the root systems of mushrooms. We are so lucky to have many incredible students at #MIT, and Branden is an outstanding example! It turns out, he even earned the #MIT Pirate Certificate. Check out the story ⤵

Do you run a research platform/facility? What are you most proud of? What makes you want to scream? Research facilities are critical for creating efficiencies that allow more and better research to flourish. So happy Small Business Week to our team at Spark and to all McMaster's Core Research Platforms. We honour your challenging and important work. #McMaster #SmallBusiness #SmallBusinessWeek #AcademicResearch #SparkLab

These types of relationships are so critical in #edtech. This is another way that industry can better connect with academia.

Every St. Patrick's Day, we reflect and give thanks to a key contributor to modern Statistical Techniques and Quality - William Sealy Gosset. Gosset was Head Brewer at Guinness in the early 1900's where he developed and applied small sample experimental design and analysis. In order to prevent disclosure of company confidential information and techniques, Gosset's work was published under the pen name "Student". His work has laid the foundation to basic statistical comparisons with small samples as applied to many industries employing statistical design and quality methods. His contribution, the widely used Student's t-Test and the underlying t-Distribution for discerning statistical differences using small samples sizes. Today, we tip our glasses and give thanks to Mr. William Sealy Gosset, of whom which was may all be students! #statisticaltechniqes #statistics #designofexperiments

Bolles upper school students are buzzing about the Frank R. Sanchez & Hope and Dana E. Fender Center for Innovation, now open on the San Jose Campus. 🎤 Learn more about this exciting addition at https://lnkd.in/e9CxU6KR. #BollesFutureFocus

A big part of designing a workshop is minimizing what I say, getting out of the way of coaches and students so they can just do ‘stuff.’ Most teachers (and therefore student expectations) are overly obsessed with perfection. Today I brought up the 64/4 rule. After 4% effort you might have a 64% result. Sharing this ‘failure’ seems like the wrong idea because it has so many deficiencies still. But a healthy culture will see that ‘rapid prototype’ and be able to imagine the real impact. This feedback should be BRUTAL, not because of the low quality prototype, but because these kinds of less-than-viable products can evoke feedback about THE PROBLEM, which often still needs refinement before a real round of prototyping should begin. Most of the time teams focus on highly visible signals. signals that are obvious are also ‘skin deep’ and instead need to be investigated for deeper root-cause. Looking forward to sharing ideas about the competencies of innovators with Marcus “CUS” Carrion and the team at the learning symposium from our 12 mercury cohorts and 19 in-person mercury workshops. Thanks to the support of Air University for the trip out to Edwards this week to support the Test Wing. Test is the way! Ian "Speed" P. | Matthew Welch | Rebecca Kern 🟡🟢

Today, we're kicking off with Professor Paige Fender, a new Visiting Professor of Marketing here at the Eastern Kentucky University and Eastern Kentucky University Online College of Business! Learn more about Professor Fender, and what brought her to #CampusBeautiful with us, as the EKU Marketing Club asks her some questions (https://lnkd.in/gEtdB6wA)! #ColonelsMeanBusiness

IndustryWeek is holding a contest where they invite high school students to share what manufacturing means to them. Students can submit an essay, video, or image, and standout entries will be published in IndustryWeek. If you know a high schooler interested in manufacturing, tell them about it! This is a great way to get high schoolers talking about manufacturing! We can't wait to see the published entries. 🙂 https://ow.ly/1ii450SxokF #manufacturing
