Whereas, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are recognized as world-class knowledge to be mastered by all graduates of South Carolina schools; and

 

Whereas, STEM learning prepares South Carolina's Pre-K thru 12th grade students for success in post-secondary studies, careers, and citizenship; and

 

Whereas, STEM educators, mentors, and volunteers support learning with their knowledge and expertise; and

 

Whereas, business/industry and community partnerships are essential in advocating for and sustaining STEM education; and

 

Whereas, opportunities in STEM career fields such as advanced manufacturing, aerospace, automotive electrification, health care, information technologies, and life sciences continue to grow in South Carolina; and

 

Whereas, South Carolina's Coalition for Mathematics & Science and SĀ²TEM Centers SC are celebrating thirty years of developing our state's STEM workforce by supporting and honoring STEM educators, promoting public awareness of STEM career opportunities, and engaging business and industry in support of STEM education. Now, therefore,

 

Be it resolved by the Senate:

 

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, encourage all South Carolinians to join with the Senate in recognizing the positive impact of STEM education and STEM educators on the quality of life for residents of the Palmetto State and declare April 12, 2023, as STEM Education Day throughout the State of South Carolina.
