“We want to remind kids and their parents that many of the things they consider cool require a background in STEM to work on. You can’t build a flying car if you don’t know anything about engineering and you can’t be on the team that is creating the coolest and most advanced video game ever if you don’t study math and computer science. “said Tessie Topol, the Director of Strategic Philanthropy for Time Warner Cable.

She went on to say, “80% of the jobs that today’s kids will be applying for will require a high level of STEM education. The Connect A Million Minds (CAMM) program is designed to give kids and their parents easy ways to spark an interest in STEM. The CAMM website (www.connectamillionminds.com) contains an incredible amount of already available community programs that parents and their children can attend together.“

Time Warner Cable set up the site at www.connectamillionminds.com to promote their cause and to educate parents and community leaders to get involved and to help inform the youth about today's science and its applications.
