Why STEM?
Why do we need the National STEM Week?
1. STEM Workforce is our future: The United States is facing declining rates of graduates in critical STEM fields, threatening the nation’s competitiveness in innovation and technology. We need to compete more globally for the future.
​​​
2. Bridging Skills Gap for America's Future Workforce: The Act will enable us to expand our American workforce by powering future tech and STEM leaders living in rural, urban, and suburban communities across our great nation.
3. Real-world impact: By exposing students and families to hands-on STEM alongside industry partnerships, we can inspire the next generation of engineers, scientists, and tech leaders.
