It’s already happening. Technical jobs are outsourced to India, China and Japan because we lack qualified people. Our economy is declining as other countries develop more effective technology, products, medicines and weapons faster. If our students’ math and science scores continue to fall further behind other countries, it’s only going to get worse.

Amy Vanderbilt, Ph.D., says we can’t count on the government or schools to correct this disturbing trend. The good news is every parent can make a huge difference, planting seeds for future generations.

Dr. Vanderbilt is an engaging and energetic speaker who will share personal stories and offer your audience innovative advice that they can use every day, such as:

•    How to avoid passing your fear of math and science on
to your kids.

•    Why the concept of “zero”
is so very important.

•    How every day activities provide countless opportunities for math and science learning.

•    How to teach negative numbers and other concepts in a fun and simple way.

•    What she learned about the next generation from writing her book with her daughter.
