35-second read · 4 questions answered below
What does this do?
This bill would establish a "National STEM Week" chosen and organized each year by CoSTEM, a federal science education committee. The week would promote STEM awareness, encourage school participation, home activities, and school-business partnerships offering mentorships, site visits, and guest lectures.
Who does it affect?
Elementary, high school, and college students and teachers nationwide, along with participating families and businesses, would be affected. States and local communities could also design their own STEM Week events.
Why does it matter?
Because participation is voluntary and no new funding or requirements are created, the bill's impact depends entirely on how many schools, families, and businesses choose to take part.
