"As we plan for the future, we know AI will be an inherent part of daily life, and we need to prepare our scholars with the resources we have now to learn how to innovate, discover and re-imagine so they can best utilize that technology however it may be implemented," Estrella said in a statement.
The national alliance "aims to disrupt and revolutionize STEM education to shape tomorrow's workforce," says its vision statement, referring to learning about science, technology, engineering and math. It works through "a collaboration of the major STEM organizations, education leaders and experts, colleges/universities, businesses, nonprofits and foundations."
During its 2023 Global Stem Leadership Alliance Summit held from July 9 to July 23, the alliance recognized Estrella with a certificate of recognition "for her unwavering commitment and dedication to developing an integrative STEM culture that is preparing our next generation of leaders," the statement said.
In the statement, the school district said adaptation is important in education.
"One of the key components of Norwalk Public Schools' strategic plan is the focus on preparing scholars to be future ready," the statement said. "To achieve this goal, the district is rethinking what is being taught and what our scholars are learning in the classroom so they are equipped with the critical analytical skills necessary to pivot in a rapidly advancing world."
