STEM is Georgia’s future. By 2020, there will be more than 22,000 new STEM jobs in this state alone. Innovative and quality STEM education is vital for students’ academic and professional success, and STEM skills are essential to Georgia’s future workforce and economy. Why not have a day to recognize the importance of STEM learning in our state?
