What is STEM?

(STEM) stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. Many undergraduate college students are now majoring in many STEM fields, especially young women. That's why it is fundamentally important to implement STEM in early education.

According to the U.S. Department of Education, “In an ever-changing, increasingly complex world, it's more important than ever that our nation's youth are prepared to bring knowledge and skills to solve problems, make sense of information, and know how to gather and evaluate evidence to make decisions.”

The Biden and Harris administration created the YOU Belong in STEM program. “This new Biden-Harris Administration initiative will help implement and scale equitable, high-quality STEM education for all students from PreK to higher education—regardless of background— to ensure their 21st-century career readiness and global competitiveness”. It is essential to help students regardless of their background, especially underrepresented minorities who don’t have access to educational resources.

Pursuing a career in STEM has been an important milestone for many. It has given students the opportunity to excel beyond their job and develop meaningful skills to prepare for the workforce. The field of science has been an integral part of our community and lives, from scientific research to having hands-on care in our communities to care for patients.

Education is also a fundamental skill in our community, allowing college students to work with K-12 students. It will help prepare them to become the best teachers they can possibly become. Through new programs and grants students can now make their dream a reality.

STEM is more than just a name, it has become an important satisfaction for college students. Feeling proud to major in a STEM field can motivate students to work hard, especially women in STEM. Women working in the STEM fields have been associated with lower pay and fewer opportunities to advance in their careers, but much of that has changed today. More women are leading the workforce higher than men and are now breaking barriers. STEM has become an integral part of our lives and will continue for the future generation.
