Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) encompasses a range of disciplines that drive innovation and are crucial for modern economies. STEM education emphasizes critical thinking, problem-solving, and the integration of these subjects to prepare students for future careers. Science includes fields such as Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Technology covers areas such as Computer Science and IT. Engineering involves branches like Civil, Mechanical, and Electrical. Mathematics includes Pure Mathematics and Statistics.

STEAM is Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Mathematics which is integrating creativity with technical skills to solve real-world challenges. The mission of STEAM is to engage students with hands-on, interactive exhibits, showcase innovation and career pathways and inspire curiosity, problem-solving and teamwork.

These efforts matter because they build STEM/STEAM careers, strengthen communities and military-civilian connections and encourages lifelong learning and innovation.
