Bring STEM Concepts to Life for Students
The demand for careers in STEM only continues to rise and preparing students for the jobs of tomorrow is no easy task. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) occupations are expected to grow 10.4 percent between 2023 and 2033. By comparison, this is almost three times faster than non-STEM occupations (3.6 percent).1 Furthermore, students are more competitive when they have a strong foundation in critical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
