Changing technologies and competition for market space are altering the types of industries that Tribes enter as they seek to sustain and diversify their economies. Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) related fields are critically important to economic growth and competitive success. Attend this session to explore the initiatives of the American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES), especially in partnership with tribal communities and schools, to develop culturally relevant STEM programs for Native student and communities to build Tribal workforces to meet the changing technologies and industry growth segments of a future technology-based economy.
