Yesterday, the University of Iowa College of Education and Dean Nicholas Colangelo welcomed visiting dignitaries from the National University of Science & Technology MISiS, Moscow, Russia.
The presentation focused on the State of Iowa STEM Initiative and featured Iowa Lieutenant Governor Kim Reynolds and a panel that included Belin-Blank Center Director Susan Assouline. Many of the speakers referenced Sputnik as a catalyst for gifted education and especially STEM education in the United States.
The Belin-Blank Center and B-BC Administrator Kate Degner covered the event on Twitter:
