National S.T.E.M / S.T.E.A.M Day – S.T.E.M stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. S.T.E.A.M is the same with the addition of art. This day reminds us to encourage kids to pursue their interest in any of these areas. Most of the fastest growing occupations in the United States are S.T.E.M/S.T.E.A.M related. But that’s not enough, the US has fallen behind other countries in these areas and this day is helpful in encouraging kids to pursue these interests and hopefully their fields. Building interest in girls especially will help to close the gender gap in most of these areas.
