The STEM Promise
Date postedNovember 1, 2008
The fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) are critical to our economy, our national security, and our global leadership in innovation and research. Our key resource lies in students with mathematical and scientific promise, including students who traditionally have been identified as gifted, talented, bright, or precocious in mathematics or science as well as those students with potential who may have missed out on the rich opportunities that have accompanied this recognition. We cannot afford to waste the talents of students with the greatest potential to lead us to creative and productive futures in mathematics, science, technology, and engineering.
