What is STEM?
STEM = Science, Technology, Engineering and Math
 
"STEM is the wave of the future. Experts credit technological innovation with almost half of U.S. economic growth over the past 50 years, and nearly all of the 30 fastest-growing occupations in the next decade will require at least some background in STEM."

As part of the science literacy team we hope to engage youth and adults with exciting opportunities in all these fields. Continue to follow us on Twitter, Facebook and through the UNHCE calendar of events to keep up to date on all the great and exciting STEM learning opportunities we offer!

 

Sincerely,
