STEM60+ - STEM Education for Older Adults

This presentation discusses the outcome of the first STEM60+ workshop held in September 2023, which was motivated by the belief that STEM education for older adults has great societal and personal benefits, yet present offerings are minimal. Experts and decision-makers from different disciplines met to develop strategies to increase STEM education efforts for mature adults with the goal of a more highly educated older population. Reflecting the diversity of the workshop, the presentation will provide social, health, and educational perspectives on the issue and address potential future pathways.
