How are we addressing it?

Team Metric is sponsoring an educational, grassroots campaign to encourage the U.S. Department of Education to explore the idea of teaching the metric system, rather than customary units, in K-12 education. Our current priority is to address the misalignment between how science and mathematics are primarily taught in schools (inch-pound units) and how measurement in those fields are most utilized (metric units) in the workplace. We are actively seeking documentation about voluntary production changes to add to our growing database of U.S. companies that have switched over to the metric system in goods and production. We are also seeking partnerships with educational and scientific organizations. We would love to hear about your experiences with the modern metric system!
