HEY CHICAGO! This week on DAAAA Podcast, we open up our 2020 season with an amazing special guest: Udit Agarwal, CEO, president, founder of Next Wave STEM. Udit is an entrepreneur who has started several companies already, but his biggest success is Next Wave STEM which offers programs for in school, after school, and professional development for teachers to help build interest in the STEM subjects.
STEM stands for: science, technology, engineering, math
We speak with Udit about his company Next Wave STEM and the trends he is seeing in schools across the Illinois area with children grades K-12. Da C60 crew provides some statistics on how the USA is averaging in these fields compared to other countries and Udit provides some insight based on his experience with the Chicago Public Schools.
Udit and the C60 crew also discuss the issue of school enrollment going way down and how STEM programs help with that issue and how the USA can do better to increase its presence for the increasing job market for STEM related professions.
All of this and of course the Jagoff of da Week on this episode of Da Podcast!
Stay tuned every week as we introduce you to the amazingly talented and spirited entrepreneurs, artists, musicians, comedians, and business owners of our favorite Midwestern town that starts with a "C" ends with an "O" and has "HICAG" in the middle of it... CHICAGO!
As always, BEAR DOWN and F*%& da Packers!
