San Diego, Calif. (PRWEB) February 24, 2014 -- STEAMConnect in collaboration with STEAM Site Sponsor, Qualcomm Incorporated, will host its first-ever STEAM Conference on Friday, March 28, at the Irwin M. Jacobs Qualcomm Hall at 5775 Morehouse Drive, San Diego, CA 92121 from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Program details and early bird tickets through Feb. 25 are available at http://steamconnect.org/events/steam-conference-2014/.

The conference is expected to attract a broad range of attendees from a network of more than 750 students, teachers, administrators, nonprofits, business leaders and policymakers from southern California who are engaged in STEAM, which includes science, technology, engineering, arts and math.

The opening session starting at 9:15 a.m. will include commentary from several government officials including Chula Vista Mayor Cheryl Cox, and official video messages from San Diego Congressional Representatives Susan Davis and Scott Peters, as well as Senator Carol Liu who chairs the California State Senate Education Committee. The session will also include perspectives from leaders of California arts and STEM organizations, Craig Watson of the California Arts Council and Chris Roe of the California STEM Learning Network.

“Our goal for this conference is to rally San Diego and southern California around the concept of STEAM, how it fits into the larger educational and economic landscape, and to dig deeper into questions surrounding STEAM,” said Kim Richards, co-founder of STEAMConnect and founder of KDR PR. “We want to inspire attendees and share new resources to help further this movement toward a generation of whole-minded students who are prepared to drive the innovative workforce of the future.”

Three panel discussions will highlight new research on arts and STEM, quality STEM and STEAM programs and schools, and give specific examples of creative collaborations in STEAM. The program will also include guest speaker Navrina Singh, Qualcomm Innovation Lead, to kick off lunch, interactive exhibits, workshops led by Qualcomm, STEAM Carnival by Two Bit Circus and NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, as well as student performances and teacher speakers.

The panel discussions will include the following speakers:

• Denise Grande, Los Angeles County Arts Commission
• Dr. M.A. Greenstein, George Greenstein Institute
