Whereas, STEM learning is enhanced by dedicated and well-prepared teachers, mentors, and volunteers; and
Whereas, partnerships between education, industry, and community are key to promoting, supporting, and improving STEM education in South Carolina; and
Whereas, South Carolina's economy, including life sciences, information technology, logistics, protecting our natural heritage, energy resilience, and a growing focus on electrifying automotive transportation relies on a STEM-capable workforce; and
Whereas, it is important to recognize the contributions of families, educators, employers, and volunteers in creating and supporting STEM-focused learning and career opportunities. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
