Navigating the Digital World Through STEM and Education
Explore the significance of STEM education, challenges like the Divertor and Mars mission, and the essence of mathematics and science in understanding our digital world. Delve into the history of technology, the role of young minds in engineering, and the words of Galileo Galilei on the importance of embracing new knowledge. Witness the intersection of art and science in the digitization of various media and the foundational principles behind visualization, logic, and coding. Unveil the language of nature through mathematics, as expressed by Galileo Galilei in 'Il Saggiatore'.

Surviving in a Digital World Ian Galloway T3 Europe STEM lead T3 Netherlands Ede 2016
Education Young people have an entitlement to have some knowledge of how their digital world is constructed. It is they who will have to grow up and survive in it. It is from the ranks of young people today that the engineers and designers of tomorrow will come from. Industry right across Europe is complaining about the lack of engineers, right now.
The Big Challenges ITER: the Divertor.
The Big Challenges Mission to Mars: the orbit
The Big Challenges Owl: adaptive optics
The Big Challenges Genomics Water Food Air Climate Change
"My dear Kepler, what would you say of the learned here, who, replete with the pertinacity of the asp, have steadfastly refused to cast a glance through the telescope? What shall we make of this? Shall we laugh, or shall we cry?" --Letter from Galileo Galilei to Johannes Kepler
Digitisation of Pictures of Audio of All measurable quantities Quantisation This is Science
Visualisation Logic Algorithms Coding Display This is Mathematics
STEM [nature] cannot be read until we have learned its language .it is written in mathematical language Galileo Galilei Il Saggiatore Understanding the mathematics of nature and then being able to digitise and write algorithms allows us to construct codes which control the technology all around us. We live in the digital age and as well as being able to code There is a need for STEM literacy for survival in this digital world
Coding Digital technology is all around us. Coding is key to having access to digital technology. All young people should have access to coding a moral right? Coding allows all digital technologies to be controlled. It requires an integration of science and mathematics to find engineering solutions. STEM literacy is key to survival in this digital world.
Before you go! An example of how a STEM approach can lead to greater understanding.
