This bill creates an official "National STEM Week" to be held every year. The goal is to get more students excited about science, technology, engineering, and math by showing them how these subjects lead to good careers.
The program focuses on reaching all students, especially those in rural towns and underserved city neighborhoods. It encourages schools and colleges to host special events and invites families to try STEM activities at home.
The plan asks science and tech companies to help out by mentoring students, giving guest lectures, and opening their doors for field trips. These businesses are also encouraged to donate money or equipment to local classrooms.
A government committee will track how many people participate and report the results to Congress each year. This report will look at whether the week is helping to close learning gaps and suggest ways to make the event better over time.
