underrepresented minorities account for only 18% of the baccalaureate degrees in science and engineering (National Science Foundation, 2013). And despite the fact that women now outnumber men in college, between 2001 and 2010, the number of women earning baccalaureate degrees in computer science has decreased by 39%.
As debates about issues in science, engineering, and medicine intensify, it can be difficult to separate fact from opinion. The National Academies created the "What You Need to Know About" program, a series of booklets and websites, to introduce topics of social and scientific interest.
This is a nice site that includes real-world problems covering a wide range in Math, Science, and more. Lesson plans included.
Please take a look at ourCommon Core and Ed Tech blog. Would like any feedback or ideas you may have about what you'd like to see.
