Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers are a growing segment of the U.S. job market; however, the United States currently lacks the talent to fill a portion of these positions. Integrating STEM into the K–12 curriculum is imperative if the United States wants to cultivate its own talent. This course, STEM for All, outlines the value of integrating STEM into the curriculum at each grade level and offers examples of STEM integration in the classroom and through curricular opportunities.

This course emphasizes also that STEM integration needs to move beyond the math and science classrooms and students who seek it out. Educators need to make sure STEM concepts are accessible to all students, including those who are presently underrepresented in STEM-based careers. STEM components need to be a part of curriculum and assessments to ensure success outside the classroom.

STEM competency is essential to the continued growth of our nation; therefore, it should be encouraged and accessible to all students in all arenas.
