19 th - 22 nd October 2016, Bangkok, Thailand A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF IPST It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 3 rd International Science, Mathematics and Technology Education Conference, ISMTEC 2016, held at the Ambassador Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand. This exciting conference is made possible by the collaboration of co-hosting organizations, sponsors, the members of numerous organizing committees, and of course the educators who will give more than 90 presentations during the four days. The conference theme “STEM Education: Preparing a Workforce for the Future” is a refmection on the rapidly changing world infmuenced by engineering, science and technology, and the demand for highly creative graduates to engage in STEM-related fjelds in order to meet the many critical challenges faced by our planet and its inhabitants, as well as to develop innovative ways to live cooperatively within a healthy biosphere and how to sustain it. Four outstanding keynote speakers who are leaders in STEM education innovation highlight the conference. Pamela McCauley, a professor at the University of Central Florida informs about “Leadership and innovation: the critical intersection for STEM success”; Allan Schneitz, COO of LifeLearn from Finland and Singapore, explores the “Magic Hidden in STEM Education”; Birgit Thomann of Germany’s Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training (BIBB), addresses STEM in vocational education settings in her presentation, “Promise, Promotion, Prospect –STEM in Vocational Education and Training in Germany”; Stephon Alexander of Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island connects science and music in his talk, “The Jazz of Physics: Embracing the Improvisation of STEM Careers”. Six Special Presenters are among the scores of educators from many countries whose presentations illustrate the importance of STEM education in a variety of formats: hands-on workshops, research papers, posters and slide show lectures. We are confjdent that this diverse group of educators will inform and inspire participants. We are grateful to the four co-hosts who have supported IPST in the development and organization of ISMTEC 2016: • Science and Mathematics Teacher Association of Thailand (SMTAT) • South East Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO) • Department of American and South Pacifjc Affairs, Thailand Ministry of Foreign Affairs • International Technology and Engineering Educators Association (ITEEA) 3

19 th - 22 nd October 2016, Bangkok, Thailand I also would like to thank the many dedicated staff members at IPST who have worked for months to organize and coordinate ISMTEC 2016. This conference would not be possible without their persistence in planning, making phone calls, meeting with sponsors and exhibitors, communicating with participants and speakers, developing the conference website, writing letters, gathering materials, designing brochures, and attending organizational meetings.
