WE HAVE A HUGE PROBLEM!
In the United States, S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) is one of the fastest growing areas of our economy. The U.S. educational system struggles to keep up with the demand of qualified S.T.E.A.M. candidates as the demand rises.
1- 17% Job Growth in demand for S.T.E.M. jobs between 2014 and 2024 as compared to 12% for non-S.T.E.M. jobs. (changetheequation.org)
2- Compared to the rest of the world, the U.S. students finished 27th in math and 20th in science in the ranking of 34 countries. (nms.org)
3- In 2020, there will be an estimated 1.4 million computer based job openings with U.S. universities only expected to produce graduates to fill 29% of these jobs. (U.S. Department of Labor)
WE HAVE A SOLUTION!
Full S.T.E.A.M. Ahead!
We need to make a commitment to provide and support programs that create a pipeline of future innovators to keep our country moving forward. As a global education platform S.T.E.A.M. learning exposes, engages, and prepares children for the growing variety of careers important to our global society and our economy. S.T.E.A.M. education provides an engaging hands-on reality based learning experience that speaks to a child’s individual learning style while developing 21st century learners for 21st century breakthroughs.
