A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF IPST

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 3rd International Science, Mathematics and Technology Education Conference, ISMTEC 2016, held at the Ambassador Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand. This exciting conference is made possible by the collaboration of co-hosting organizations, sponsors, the members of numerous organizing committees, and of course the educators who will give more than 90 presentations during the four days. The conference theme “STEM Education: Preparing a Workforce for the Future” is a refmection on the rapidly changing world infmuenced by engineering, science and technology, and the demand for highly creative graduates to engage in STEM-related fjelds in order to meet the many critical challenges faced by our planet and its inhabitants, as well as to develop innovative ways to live cooperatively within a healthy biosphere and how to sustain it. Four outstanding keynote speakers who are leaders in STEM education innovation highlight the conference. Pamela McCauley, a professor at the University of Central Florida informs about “Leadership and innovation: the critical intersection for STEM success”; Allan Schneitz, COO of LifeLearn from Finland and Singapore, explores the “Magic Hidden in STEM Education”; Birgit Thomann of Germany’s Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training (BIBB), addresses STEM in vocational education settings in her presentation, “Promise, Promotion, Prospect –STEM in Vocational Education and Training in Germany”; Stephon Alexander of Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island connects science and music in his talk, “The Jazz of Physics: Embracing the Improvisation of STEM Careers”. Six Special Presenters are among the scores of educators from many countries whose presentations illustrate the importance of STEM education in a variety of formats: hands-on workshops, research papers, posters and slide show

• lectures. We are confjdent that this diverse group of educators will inform and inspire participants.

We are grateful to the four co-hosts who have supported IPST in the development and organization of ISMTEC 2016:

The Jazz of Physics: Embracing the Improvisation of STEM Careers

Stephon Alexander is a theoretical physicist at Brown University specializing in the interface between cosmology, particle physics and quantum gravity (String Theory and Loop Quantum Gravity). He received his BSc (1993) from Haverford College and PhD (2000) from Brown University. He held postdoctoral fellowships at Imperial College, London and The Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, and recently was a professor of physics at Dartmouth University.

• Dr. Alexander asks big questions, such as How did the space and time that govern our universe come into being? Intrigued

at an early age by quantum theory, Einstein’s theory of relativity, and string theory, he now works to unify them in his search for a theory of quantum gravity. “There’s a world of phenomena and theories that do very well in making cell phones work,” he explains.“But at the same time, other evidence we are calling ‘dark matter’ is still absolutely mysterious. My discoveries come through calculations as I tease nature into revealing her secrets.” “My childhood was full of surprises,” he remembers. “I learned that you can’t always hold on to things; it taught me the idea of embracing the

• unknown. Our culture tells us to try and control situations. Instead, I’ve always coped with unexpected events by making

theories about why they may be happening.”
