Meeting at the BOEING compagny

Again arriving at a large globally represented company, the professionalism is on a high level. Including a to the point presentation. STEM education is widely supported and Boeing has a strong strategy on that.
 First let me share some facts to visualize the magnitude of the Boeing company.
Boeing employs 157.000 employees over 49 states and 70 countries. They've got costumers in 90 countries with a total revenue of 68.3 billion dollar. (voor de Nederlanders onder ons, dit is 68.3 milard dollar).
Like most of the bigger companies we visited it is not only about granting (the money). They all show a commitment to collaborate with all the parties involved. But everyone has its own strategy. (Obviously)
Boeings main STEM education principals are:

• STEM for everyone( Minorities and underserved youth)
• Strong parent involvement
• Social, emotional and cognitive skills to develop in the first 5 years!
• Learning starts at Birth

The purpose of education:

1. Become and remain economoly self sufficient
2. communicative effective
3. Participate in civic programs
4. Learn, Unlearn and Relearn. (flexible but interesting!)
5. Focus on future.

Taking pictures or any footage was strictly forbidden. The Boeing people arranged a photographer. photos will arrive asap.
