STEM education lays the foundation for critical thinking, problem-solving, and innovation, which is crucial in elementary school. According to the U.S. Department of Education, students who engage in STEM activities at a young age are more likely to pursue careers in these fields, which are projected to grow by 8.8% from 2018 to 2028. They are also 117% more lucrative than non-STEM careers. Early exposure to STEM can also help bridge the gender and minority gaps in these industries. Events like the Family Fun STEM Night at Chenowith Elementary are vital in sparking interest and enthusiasm in these subjects. They help to level the playing field and provide all students with the chance to thrive academically and personally.
