Why is STEM Important?

We need people with science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) skills to solve tough problems. Scientists and engineers tackle pressing issues, like creating new medicines or developing technology to use energy more efficiently. STEM jobs tend to pay more than other jobs, and they’re also in high demand, which means that people who work in STEM can have stable and rewarding careers. By participating in STEM education programs, you can help drive innovation and progress for years to come.
