According to the National Science Board 2020 Report (released May 2020), the worldwide demand for STEM-capable (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) workers keeps growing, driven by international opportunities and competition. Increases in the number of jobs that require STEM skills, include careers that did not historically did not require STEM knowledge. This situation will only become more critical. 

Even as STEM competencies have become more essential, U.S. K-12 mathematics and science scores are well below those of many other nations and have stagnated.

The challenge for educators is to embrace STEM in the classrooms. STEM is more than just building a mousetrap car or a paper bridge. Educators who are STEM Experts embrace curriculum involving hands-on experiences. We have the expertise to help schools and educators integrate STEM effectively in grades K-12.
