Do you like the STEM classes - those would be Science, Technology,Engineering and Math
Yeah I do like to read about STEM stuff, mostly technology. It is an important field these days.
They use the term a lot when talking about education and curriculum in schools - it's supposed to improve competitiveness in science and tech development by exposing kids earlier.
Sure, that makes sense. It is good to prepare kids for careers that involve those fields of science.
They are saying it has implications for workforce development, national security concerns and even immigration policies.
I can see how not having enough people in STEM fields would cause immigration issues.
They used to use the METS acronym, but changed it to STEM,thinking the old acronym was just too overused and that they needed something new to entice people.
