Last June at STEM Solutions 2012, five experts from various fields were named to the first class of the U.S. News STEM Leadership Hall of Fame, as selected by a committee of industry, academic, and nonprofit sector leaders for their roles in advancing STEM. The awards ceremony followed several days of presentations, panels, and conversations—not to mention basketball-shooting and ribbon-cutting robots—in which nearly 2,000 educators, business leaders, policymakers, media professionals, and others came together to share ideas and proposals for improving STEM education and engagement.
