Marlon Lindsay is committed to ensuring that all students receive a comprehensive STEM education.
He is pursuing this goal as the founder of 21stCenturyEd, a company he is growing in the Master of Business Creation program at the University of Utah’s David Eccles School of Business.
21stCenturyEd helps schools integrate STEM education across all subjects through instructional, intervention, and enrichment strategies and activities that give students the knowledge to coexist with intelligent automated machines created by the convergence of AI, robotics, and automation.
“I was called to education at a time like this. There is no rhyme or reason as to why I got into this work that has activated my abilities and passion in the way evangelizing STEM education has — it’s just my calling,” Lindsay said.
21stCenturyEd’s STEM strategies and engagement initiatives provide lifelong, adaptable skills, “specifically the 4C’s — creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, and communication,” Lindsay said.
“With our formula, STEM Literacy = 4C + 2p, we insert problem-finding and problem-solving as crucial skills so our students can pivot and thrive no matter what life throws their way,” he said.
21stCenturyEd consults, strategizes, and provides schools with a comprehensive STEM education system to prepare students to thrive in a world shaped by AI, robotics, and the ever-evolving automation through intelligent machines.
Lindsay and his team have worked to create foundational values within 21stCenturyEd that are core to their culture. These essential principles are love, awareness, discernment, growth, contribution, initiative, and accountability, which guide the creation of their products and services for the sacred responsibility of shaping young minds.
