AI Summary

This bill, titled the National STEM Week Act, aims to establish a yearly "National STEM Week" to promote innovation and improve access to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education for all students, regardless of their location or background. The act amends the America COMPETES Reauthorization Act of 2010 to officially designate this week, which will involve encouraging educational institutions, families, and STEM industries to participate in various activities. These activities are intended to highlight the importance of STEM education, showcase career opportunities, promote at-home learning, foster partnerships between schools and industry leaders for mentorship and real-world applications, and support states and communities in developing their own STEM Week initiatives. The authority to designate National STEM Week and carry out related programs will expire five years after the bill's enactment.
