STEM Meme: Full Code Conference Video of Harvey Mudd's Klawe and Code.org's Partovi

As promised, we’re posting the full videos of interviews from the recent Code Conference.

A new video of one of the many stellar speakers for the event, which took place two weeks ago in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif., will go up every day. (You can see a compilation video of the speakers here.)

Today, we’re focusing on science, technology, engineering and math education, or STEM, which has been much discussed in Silicon Valley of late, especially since it is an arena the once-mighty United States has fallen behind in. Also of importance: Changes in the way STEM is taught to be more inclusive of women and others (a.k.a. not only white dudes).

Here’s a lively discussion that Walt Mossberg conducted with Maria Klawe, president of Harvey Mudd College, and Hadi Partovi, founder of Code.org, an online educational organization that wants more people to learn how to code.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple reasons that we can't rely only on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on.

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. We can’t do that if we have a paywall.

That’s why we also turn to you, our readers, to help us keep Vox free. If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today?
