Mission Statement
Effect improvements in the math, science, and technology education of all pre-college students in the U.S., to help raise their functional and technological literacy, and to keep alive the innate curiosity of young children about science as they move into middle school and high school, so that they will continue to study mathematics, science, and technology.
If you speak to a roomful of college deans one day and a roomful of unemployed engineers another, each group will see the problem differently.
