When

start developing a child's interest in their early years, with a strong background they will remain interested in these fields

Why

prepare students to become innovators, problem solvers and creators, in order to fill STEM jobs we know about now and those that have not yet been created

lack of people to fill jobs, especially women and minorities

more jobs that need math and science in the future

drives our economy
