Be The Cause challenges you to reflect on your own experiences as both a student and an educator. Consider the teachers who made a lasting impact on your life and how they did it. Then, ask yourself how you can do the same for your students."

Harshal Chhaya is a distinguished Engineer looking for ways to help educators integrate STEM, coding, & robotics in practical ways. He believes that "Life is cross-curricular" and that education should reflect that.
As the lead Systems Engineer and Product Manager for TI's STEM product line, Harshal has led the development of products like the TI-Innovator Hub and TI-Innovator Rover, and led the system design for adding Python programming to TI calculators. His work at Texas Instruments has allowed him to see the convergence of technology with teachers, and help educators find ways to respond to ever changing tech. 

Ultimately, his goal is to extend the reach of STEM technology products to coding, physical computing, and robotics for middle school and high school students.

Career technical education and workforce development has arguably never been more important than it is now, due the rapidly changing landscape. With things like innovation and AI happening so quickly, it becomes more important for educators to prepare students for the changing work environment through early STEM integration that continues through a student’s academic career.

By the time they reach high school, most students have already decided whether or not they think science and math are ‘cool’. That's why the VEX Continuum begins with Kindergarten and spans through a child's career. Starting with intuitive tool-less systems, then snapping together robots and graduating to advanced metal robots, VEX Robotics can unlock a curiosity and a passion that will stay with them for a lifetime.
No one knows that more than Lauren Harter, Director of Instructional Technology for VEX Robotics! She has dedicated her professional career to developing robust educational tools for teacher support from Kinder to College. Combining her practical and academic expertise in math, technology, and education, Lauren designs and writes supplemental resources including STEM Labs, articles, and develops video support that is distributed globally. Be sure to check out the Education and Resources links on the  vexrobotics.com website.
Lauren discusses some issues facing STEM education in the US today, including:
the changing landscape of STEM education How STEM education is leading to workforce growth How to ensure that students are equipped with practical skills that mirror industry needsHow schools can integrate advanced technology into the classrooms without a significant financial burden Connect with Vex Robotics & Lauren:
