    🚨 Breaking! National STEM Week Bill Introduced in Congress 🚨 I am beyond excited to share that EXPLR’s vision for a National STEM Week has officially made it to Capitol Hill! The bill, spearheaded by U.S. Representatives Mike Carey (R-OH) and Joyce Beatty (D-OH), is the result of a collaboration between EXPLR, COSI - Center of Science and Industry and over 100 leading STEM organizations. This bipartisan initiative aims to establish an annual National STEM Week, ensuring equitable access to top-notch STEM education for every student across the U.S., especially those in underserved communities. Read the full release: https://lnkd.in/dMnsWc-v Conceived by myself and Kari Byron of EXPLR and developed by COSI, this bill sends a strong message: STEM is vital to America’s future. Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics are the keys to innovation, economic growth, and maintaining the U.S.'s competitive edge globally. ✨ Why This Matters: STEM fields are the backbone of technological advancement and economic progress. However, there’s a growing gap in access to quality STEM education, particularly in underserved areas. An annual National STEM Week will: ⭐ Spark curiosity and passion for STEM in students from all backgrounds. ⭐ Motivate families, schools, and industry leaders to champion STEM education. ⭐ Strengthen both formal and informal STEM learning environments across the nation.

    Center of Science and Industry (COSI), EXPLR, and 100 Leading STEM Organizations Join Forces with Representatives Carey (R) and Beatty (D) to Make National STEM Week a Law of the Land
