Whereas, opportunities in STEM career fields such as advanced manufacturing, computing, and engineering continue to grow in South Carolina; and
Whereas, STEM learning in schools and afterschool, and in a wide variety of formal and informal learning settings, all contribute to increased STEM knowledge and skills; and
Whereas, partnerships between education and industry are key to promoting, supporting, and improving STEM education in South Carolina; and
Whereas, STEM learning is enhanced by dedicated and well-prepared teachers, mentors, and volunteers; and
Whereas, the Palmetto State is committed to providing its next generation of leaders with a rigorous, well-rounded education; and
Whereas, it is important to recognize and promote success in both student and teacher accomplishments in the STEM area; and
Whereas, all South Carolinians should pause to celebrate mathematics on March fourteenth, commonly known as "Pi Day"; and
Whereas, this year, South Carolina's statewide network for STEM Education, now known as S2TEM Centers SC, is celebrating its twenty-fifth anniversary. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, recognize the positive impact of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Education on the quality of life of the residents of South Carolina, and declare March 7, 2018, as "STEM Education Day" in South Carolina.
