Law

This bill, introduced by Senators Ernst and Klobuchar, would create an official "National STEM Week" every year to get students excited about science, technology, engineering, and math.
The goal is to help students in all areas—including rural towns and big cities—learn about high-tech jobs and connect with professionals who already work in those fields.
Schools would be encouraged to host special events, and tech companies would be asked to provide mentors, guest speakers, and tours of their offices to show students how these subjects work in the real world.
Families would also be encouraged to get involved with science and math activities at home to help kids feel more comfortable with these subjects outside of the classroom.
The government would track how many people participate and report back to Congress every year to see if the program is helping more students pursue careers in technology and innovation.
