“ What the U. S. needs to create tomorrow’ s high-tech workforce is a revolutionary tool like this. And we need to get it in more schools across the country.”

With degrees in engineering and business, Steve Litchfield understands the importance of math and science education. When Steve learned about the MIND Research Institute’ s success in raising math scores with its innovative ST Math program, it immediately piqued his interest.“ At the end of the day, it’ s about the results. Whether the school is performing in the 30th percentile or the 60th percentile for proficiency, the scores need to go up,” says Steve, who is the Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer of Analog Mixed Signal at Microsemi.
Steve convinced two local parents to help him fund MIND Research’ s ST Math program at his daughter’ s public school in San Clemente, Calif.“ My daughter experienced some natural struggles with math,” says Steve.“ But what I saw with ST Math, is that the tool was designed to teach her to persevere.” And that’ s a skill that will help her succeed in any field.
