The Hines Family Foundation STEM4.0 Education and Training Alliance

The Hines Family Foundation Mission is to enable underserved and under-resourced students and communities to become viable contributors to and beneficiaries of the 21st century global workforce through STEM4.0 based learning and innovation. HFF orients its learning strategies around a series of discipline-based Learning Initiatives, integrating STEM studies with Hands-on-Learning Experiences, providing technologies, tools and products, and interfacing with front-end education and outreach organizations. Recently, HFF has initiated the STEM4.0 Education and Training Alliance (H-SETA), a public-private-academic campaign to facilitate collaboration on creating and deploying mission-aligned STEM4.0/STEAM Education and Outreach and related technology, product, and service initiatives in support of underserved and under-represented students and population groups. This panel will introduce H-SETA core partners and describe some of our approaches and strategies to positively impact students.
