National STEM/STEAM Day, inaugurated in 2015 by MGA Entertainment, serves the purpose of instilling inspiration and motivation among students to foster greater engagement in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and the integrated field of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM).
STEM-related occupations constitute approximately 7% of the total employment opportunities in the United States, and this proportion is anticipated to experience continued growth. Sectors such as medical science, engineering, sociology, information security, and many others rely heavily on the contributions of STEM and STEAM professionals.
On National STEM/STEAM Day, we celebrate those who are already interested in STEM fields and hope to attract new students to STEM disciplines.
