Welcome!
We live at a time when the potential for the positive impact of those who pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and math-related fields is ever expanding. There are few careers that do not require people to use and understand technology. Talented scientists, engineers, and mathematicians are the heroes who help us combat disease, protect our environment, and improve quality of life by designing better systems for cities, communication, and agriculture. We need more of these heroes. And the children we are educating today need to know that they can develop the skills to excel in these disciplines. Since the 1970s, educators have been speaking out about the need for greater emphasis in our schools on what has been called STEM and now STEAM (the A reflects the enhancement of combining the creativity and visual impact of the Arts into Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math endeavors).
