Why It's Important

​

Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) are fields which require skills that are critical in competing for 21st Century jobs.  Most jobs of the future will require a basic understanding of math and science and it is especially important in rural communities to expose students to STEM education and experiences.  STEM education creates critical thinkers, increases science literacy, and enables the next generation of innovators.  

​

Children who participate in STEM based learning will develop a passion for it and hopefully pursue a job in a STEM field. STEM activities provide hands-on and minds-on lessons that provide opportunities to see how concepts relate to real-life application. Students will be more prepared for careers that are in demand locally as well as nationally and worldwide.
