What is STEM?

STEM technically stands for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. But we really think of it as “Strategies That Engage Minds.”

These days, almost every job – even those you least expect – require some skill in a STEM discipline. But many students graduate today without those skills. That’s not just bad for students; it’s bad for many North Carolina communities that lack the well-trained workforce needed to attract good jobs.

Maintaining our scientific and technological leadership in North Carolina is essential to our economy, our national security, and our future. It’s not just about science and math – it’s about Strategies that Engage Minds. It’s about being ready for college, careers, and life.
