Vision:
By dramatically increasing the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) talent throughout the region, the Greater Dayton Region will become a leading competitive marketplace for innovation, research and emerging technology industries propelling regional economic growth and individual opportunity.
Mission:
Systemically, strategically and collaboratively support STEM talent development in the Miami Valley across the P-20 education pipeline.
Systemically support the development of talented citizens with the knowledge and skills to apply science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) across disciplines to think critically, solve problems creativity and lead through invention and innovation.
Strategically identify and support proven and promising programs and practices in teaching, learning and talent development.
Collaboratively work with stakeholders to flexibly and effectively implement priority solutions, leverage resources, advocate and support boldly advancing STEM talent.
What do we want to accomplish?
Increase the number of students who:
Engage in rich, rigorous science, technology, engineering and math learning throughout their education – from early childhood through college – to better prepare them for future success in work, college and life.
Choose to pursue industry recognized credentials, 2 year, 4 year and terminal degrees in STEM related fields.
Choose a career in STEM fields to support the Dayton region’s economic growth.
What will EDvention do that is different from what happens now?
EDvention will bring together multiple education, business, governmental and civic leaders to create regional goals and an action plan to increase talent, particularly math and science talent. Using data to drive decision making, EDvention will work with education, business, and governmental, civic and philanthropic leaders to identify areas where collaboration can yield better results than individual programs going it alone.
Strategically connecting programs through a comprehensive set of regional goals and a collaborative action plan, with a strong focus on math and science, can position the Miami Valley to thrive in the increasingly competitive global economy. In addition, this work will spur the emergence of bold new action that can be best accomplished through regional collaboration.
