Urging the department of education to emphasize STEM education in public schools.

AI Summary

This resolution urges the New Hampshire Department of Education to enhance STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education in public high schools by introducing specialized courses in robotics, advanced programming, engineering, and advanced mathematics. The resolution highlights the growing demand for STEM-related careers, citing projected job growth in fields like robotics engineering, software development, and electrical engineering. With only a limited number of high schools currently offering advanced STEM classes, the resolution argues that early exposure to these subjects can help students explore potential career paths, develop critical skills, and prepare for college-level STEM programs. By expanding STEM curricula, the resolution aims to create a pipeline of tech-savvy graduates who are equipped to meet the evolving demands of a technology-driven economy, while also providing students with opportunities to discover their passions and gain a competitive edge in the job market.
