Participants in this symposium will highlight efforts related to awareness and interest in science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics [STE(A)M] topics as well as approaches for educating and retaining the next generation of STE(A)M individuals in glass and ceramics research. Work that reaches one’s country and/or a global audience is highly encouraged. Additional topics covered may include any pursuit that focuses on underrepresented and/or low-income communities and/or engagements in research with an emphasis on energy equity or environmental justice. Presentations should focus on outreach activities related to glass or ceramics-related topics, including exploration of STEAM essentials and best practices for developing and disseminating activities and tools to prepare students for technical careers; supporting K–12 STEM programs through outreach to teachers and schools; development of curricula and/or courses to support STEAM in schools and universities; and the importance of addressing the imminent gap in a qualified STEAM workforce.
