This unique series is a collaboration between World Book and NASA’s Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) program. Scientists tell how they grew from students to inventors and now tackle some of NASA’s biggest challenges.

Learn about alien caves, asteroids, solar wind, rovers, and much, much more! Meet the scientists and inventors that create these experiences.

Check back as we add to the STEM at home, Common Sense Media and other information.

The May 2019 STEM Showcase was a huge success.

The 2020 STEM Showcase to unveil the Digital Learning Center was scheduled for May 11, 2020 and has been postponed due to the COVID19 closures.

WHY STEM?

80% of future jobs require a STEM education.

6 out of 10 elementary school students will have jobs that don’t exist yet. -- Bureau of Labor and Statistics

93 out of 100 STEM occupations had wages above the national average

The national average wage for all STEM occupations was $87,570, nearly double the national average wage for non-STEM occupations ($45,700).

Employment in STEM occupations grew by 10.5 percent, or 817,260 jobs, between May 2009 and May 2015, compared with 5.2 percent net growth in non-STEM occupations.

If we don’t engage students by the 5th grade in STEM, 92% of boys and 97% of girls will lose interest.

The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn. -- from the book Why School? How Education Must Change When Learning and Information Are Everywhere, Will Richardson (2012)
