2. Why STEM?
STEM education is an economic imperative for Georgia and America The demand for workers in STEM occupations is increasing at every education level. By 2018, America will be short one million nurses, 200,000 doctors, and 400,000 engineers. We want our children to be able to find a good job, move out of the house, and raise a family without our funds= STEM education.
