Imagine a Day Without Science
Eliminate science from your life for one day…
and your life would be very different.
no car.....huh? computer?.....see ya airplanes.....
later, telephone.....calculator, really?
.....bye, electricity!
BUT WHY? BUT HOW?
Our world is a laboratory: everything invented or discovered
is connected to Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.
STEM is the future.
The world needs experts in specialization to survive.
Children need a strong foundation in math and science
to thrive in a global economy.
BUT we face a national problem:
• 15 year olds rank 17th in Reading
• 15 year olds rank 31st in Math
• 15 year olds rank 23rd in Science
• Only 45% of 2011 high school graduates are ready for college-level math
• Merely 30% of 2011 high school students are ready for college-level science
• 3 Million is the projected shortage of workers with college degrees by 2018
Now, imagine the children of today becoming lifelong learners who are inquisitive,
knowledgeable about the world, and inspired to become stewards of a peaceful and
sustainable planet.
What could they accomplish? What COULDN’T they accomplish?
