The second objective of the League's Second Century Campaign suggests an outreach program focused on skill building for youth in the domains of science and technology. I'm thinking about the current big picture as talent hunting is underway too the level of high school into elementary school.
The leading edge is science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and STEM adoption reaches into corporations including institutions of higher learning.
Objective is defined as something toward which work is directed; a strategic position to be attained; a purpose to be achieved; a result to be obtained; or a service to be performed.
The Second Century Campaign, Second Objective --
Perhaps, my sample population cannot be generalized neither is it statistically significant, however it has what is called face validity. I'm one of the youngest, active licensed Amateur Radio enthusiast between San Luis Obispo and Santa Maria, California.
Our bell shaped curve on the Central Coast suggests peak ham radio activity on high frequency.
STEM Talent Hunting
Talent hunting and grooming of the next generation of STEM leaders and innovators is fully engaged. Would building partnerships with other programs within the STEM portfolio better serve Second Century Campaign, Second Objectives?
Contraction
Certainly, one of the most contentious and baffling topics confronting Amateur Radio on this side of the Atlantic, is the contraction of interested youth in our avocation. Potentially, an explanation is generation gap, because those born in the 21st Century are living and breathing the Internet.
It doesn't mean Amateur Radio doesn't have a role to play however what is the composition of 21st Century skill sets? What is going to be the composition of one's skill set in the next 10 years? It's fluid. It's dynamic. And, its atomized.
Quantum Skill Sets
Perhaps, we're moving to quantum level skill sets that are ever changing specializations, composed of macro-level education followed by degrees of specialization? The 20th Century macro-skill is giving way to the 21st Century micro-skill that is fluid, dynamic, and atomized.
Lastly, I believe, a program of magnitude as described in the second objective, needs project priorities and partnerships, at the level of field organizations working with section managers.

Organize, promote and manage a national program to offer a 21st Century experience to young people as they build skills in scientific and technological discovery through Amateur Radio in a safe competitive and collaborative environment for their curiosity and creativity.Peak Amateur Radio Activity
