“As we prepare to meet the greatest challenges we face in this increasingly connected and interdependent 21st century world, STEM education is the foundation of our future prosperity and global leadership. If we’re going to meet these challenges, then as Americans, we share an imperative to reverse the trends we’re seeing across our country, in which students are falling behind our global competitors in the STEM disciplines. Students who experience learning by doing in labs or fieldwork are far more likely to be interested in science and math. We have to give them these opportunities, if only to ignite the sparks of their minds and inspire them to address the challenges we face and to secure our future.”

Martin O'Malley
Governor of Maryland
