“What students learn about the science disciplines, technology, engineering, and mathematics during their K-12 schooling shapes their intellectual development, opportunities for future study and work, and choices of career, as well as their capacity to make informed decisions about political and civic issues about their own lives.” 

- Successful STEM Education
A Workshop Summary, National Research Council 2011

“STEM education can lead to productive employment and is critical to the nation’s innovation capacity… all people, particularly young people, need to have some degree of scientific and technological literacy in order to lead productive lives as citizens.”
