Dr. Mackie Tells alliantgroup panel that “STEM for all” Is Needed as the Nation Engages in a 4th Industrial Revolution
“The problem that is facing us isn’t new, we’re in the midst of a fourth industrial revolution. The first industrial revolution… we had a challenge of switching an agricultural society to an industrial society… Now, we are in a fourth industrial revolution, which includes the internet of things, censors, artificial intelligence, robotics… The only difference in those other three industrial revolutions was that we always trained people to do the work and we had enough people, primarily white males. The challenge is now we need everybody and now we have to talk about STEM for all… and we need to make sure that the resources the congressman talks about are applied equally to communities that otherwise have never had access,” said Dr. Mackie.

Will the heavy winds accompany the rains ripping off roofs and collapsing unstable buildings?
