    Event Overview

    Careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics are among the highest-paying jobs in the US. Workers in these fields earn over $100,000 a year, in comparison to the national wage average of $46,000. The US is the world’s leader in research and development, but faces a critical shortage in its homegrown workforce. Roughly 43% of STEM workers in the US are from abroad. The gaps are critical for students of color and girls as well as low income children.

    Speakers discuss novel initiatives to engage kids in STEM occupations, as well as some of the barriers in classrooms.
