PREPARING K-12 STUDENTS FOR FUTURE STEM CAREERS

It’s become a well-known fact that most students are woefully unprepared for careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (otherwise known as STEM). Students in the United States regularly score low on math and science tests, lagging behind other developed nations.
