CRESTVIEW — Science, technology, engineering and math training will be crucial in the classroom to meet future technology and engineering job demands. That’s why Okaloosa County entrepreneur and philanthropist Paul Hsu is glad to receive the Senate majority leader’s support for STEM education.
Hsu discussed his vision for education and training last week during the International Leadership Foundation’s Annual Gala in Washington D.C. Hsu serves as chairman of the D.C.-based ILF, an Asian youth leadership and mentoring organization. He also champions educational support endeavors through the Hsu Family Educational Foundation.
“With a shared view that better equipping young people in the S.T.E.M. fields will be essential for our nation’s progress, Hsu received assurances from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell among other key decision and policy makers in attendance,” a Hsu Foundation spokesperson said.
“By recognizing and encouraging educators, growing student interest in S.T.E.M. through robotics clubs, 3D printing and drone demonstrations are just a few ways the HSU Foundation is making a local impact for the next generation’s future,” a spokesperson said.
