Get the Facts Out

WVU CE-STEM aims to reverse the shortage of high school chemistry, math and physics teachers by exposing benefits of becoming a math or science teacher to college STEM majors through the Get the Facts Out (GFO) project.

By partnering with tech companies, STEM organizations, federal and state government, and higher education institutions, we build a stronger talent pipeline to fill STEM careers in West Virginia.

“As policymakers debate how to govern artificial intelligence, there’s a real risk of overlooking the most foundational policy question of all: whether students are learning about how this technology actually works. You cannot regulate what people don’t understand. And if we wait to teach AI until every policy question is resolved, we will already be too late. We’ve seen this movie before. When social media reshaped young people’s lives, we failed to give them even a basic understanding of the algorithms shaping their feeds, their beliefs, and their insecurities. That gap in understanding left families, schools, and policymakers scrambling to respond after harm had already occurred. We cannot make that mistake again with AI. Our focus is on ensuring educators and education leaders have the resources they need to build foundational literacy that will enable students to use, question, and shape AI responsibly. The message to education leaders is simple: Move now. Preparing students for an AI-powered world cannot wait on perfect policy.”
