Thanks Michael.
Just to be clear, my question has nothing to do with anyone trying to create major waves / changes in STEM education / communication here in the UK! ;-)

No answer I'm afraid, I'm just piggybacking on this message to pass on a couple of links showing that there is a lot going on in the USA:
Congressional Panels Dump on STEM Reshuffling Plan | Science/AAAS | News http://news.sciencemag.org/funding/2013/07/congressional-panels-dump-stem-reshuffling-plan?ref=em
An Invisible Hand Behind Plan to Realign U.S. Science Education http://www.sciencemag.org/content/341/6144/338.short
A U.S. Makeover for STEM Education: What It Means for NSF and the Education Department | Science/AAAS | News http://news.sciencemag.org/people-events/2013/04/u.s.-makeover-stem-education-what-it-means-nsf-and-education-department
Maybe there are links in there that would take people on to documents that offer possible suggestions for the question posed here.
