Whereas knowledge in STEM fields is necessary to ensure 
the security of the United States; 
Whereas an increasing number of jobs require an educational 
foundation in science and mathematics; 
Whereas high-quality education in science will remain critical 
to understanding and combating the growing issue of cli-
mate change; 
Whereas hands-on experience with STEM education shows 
students that they can make a meaningful, tangible im-
pact on today’s world; 
Whereas the emergence of the arts as a necessary factor in 
STEM curriculum further develops students’ aptitudes in 
communication, critical thinking, and collaboration, and 
inspires innovation and creativity; 
Whereas today’s scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and 
educators have the power to inspire the innovators of to-
morrow; 
Whereas women, African Americans, Native Americans, and 
Latinx people are currently underrepresented in STEM 
fields, meaning that much of the United States potential 
remains untapped; 
Whereas diversity in any field incorporates different experi-
ences and ideas which ultimately lead to more creative 
and pioneering solutions to the problems that the United 
States faces today and the challenges it will face in the 
future; 
Whereas increasing the inclusion of women and people of 
color in science and technology sectors provides role mod-
els who will inspire students of all backgrounds and iden-
tities;
