[CALIBK12] [CSLA Research Update] Tech career planning study

[Lesley Farmer]

Schools Fail to Teach InnovationU.S. teens say they aren't being
prepared well for technology and engineering careers. The disparity is
more pronounced among some groups historically underrepresented in
these fields. Roughly two-thirds of African-American teens (64 percent)
and teen girls (67 percent) believe they are not being prepared well in
school for these careers.Lemelson-MIT Program. (2008). Lemelson-MIT
