    Could math and science classes be improved by tying in real-life policy questions and the development of civic skills? If so, how?

    Teachers, students, policy makers, and other interested citizens are invited to join the Citizens League's Education Action Group and SciMathMN to discuss integrating civic education with STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) curricula.
