I am quite good at math and science
I have been reading about STEM recently - it stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics - have you heard of it?
Yup. In fact I got my undergrad in Computer Science
Awesome! It is so important for workforce development, national security concerns and immigration policy.
Yup. It is, literally, the driving force of the future of our world. Do you know of any jobs that would benefit from STEM education?
I don't know of specific jobs, but it does improve competitiveness in science and technology development.
I see. Is there anything else interesting about STEM you can tell me about?
to the acronym STEM. One of the first NSF projects to use the acronym was STEMTEC, the Science, Technology, Engineering and Math Teacher Education Collaborative at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, which was founded in 1998.
Other variations.

- eSTEM (environmental STEM)
- STEMIE (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, Invention and Entrepreneurship); adds Inventing and
Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), previously Science, Math, Engineering and Technology (SMET), is a term used to group together these academic disciplines. This term is typically used when addressing education policy and curriculum choices in schools to improve competitiveness in science and technology development. It has implications for workforce development, national security concerns and immigration policy. The "science" in STEM typically refers to two out of the three major branches of science: natural
