YOU Belong in STEM is an initiative designed to strengthen and increase science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education nationwide.
Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) drives innovation, promotes economic development, and enhances our understanding of the world, making STEM education a national priority. High-quality STEM education provides students with the knowledge and skills to solve problems, gather and evaluate evidence, and make sense of information. STEM initiatives at IES advance the study and ...
The United States is falling behind internationally, ranking 25th in mathematics and 17th in science among STEM education will happen only if Hispanics, African-Americans, and other underrepresented groups in the STEM fields—including women, people with disabilities, and first-generation Americans—participate.

These same skills are also crucial for workforce success, as a growing number of jobs will be located in the STEM fields or require at least some STEM skills. And in the 21st century, our economy will be driven even ...
We investigated the trends of STEM education, as well as its main advantages and challenges in K-12 settings. A total of 118 empirical studies published between 2013 and 2021 in refereed journals were included in the analysis.
