Why Are Technology & Engineering Important?

"[Science] is more than a school subject, or the periodic table, or the properties of waves. It is an approach to the world, a critical way to understand and explore and engage with the world, and then have the capacity to change that world..."
-President Barack Obama

The Significance of STEM Education

Acccording to the US Department of Education, there is going to be a 14% increase in the number of STEM jobs by 2020. Because it is a career field that designs, formulates, and understands the base for all other knowledge and forms of innovation, it is not surprising that more jobs in STEM are going to be available in the near future. This is why students need to have access to STEM Education and be shown what wonders it can do; quite literally, an education in STEM can alter society as we know it.
