Summer Camps and Tech Challenges Prepare Next Generation Scientists, Engineers

Wednesday, July 15, 2009

The lazy days of summer may be the most challenging time to keep students and teachers motivated and engaged in academics. Fortunately, several programs across the country have risen to the challenge. And, with the Obama Administration's pledge to make math and science education a national priority, now may be an opportune time for collaboration among federal and state agencies, private foundations, and industry to reverse the U.S. decline in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields.

Recent Research: Does the Clustering of Venture Capital Centers Make Sense?

Wednesday, July 15, 2009

Wednesday, March 17, 2010

Adding to a growing number of states seeking to increase their percentage of power from renewable sources, Gov. Jack Markell last week introduced the Delaware Clean Energy Jobs Act.  A key component of the legislation is increasing the state's Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS), which governors often say generates job growth.

Race for the Renewable Energy Pay-Off: Recent State Actions

Wednesday, June 30, 2010
