Why should you consider this class?

"The future of the economy is in STEM" says James Brown, executive director of the STEM Education Coalition in Washington, D.C. “That’s where the jobs of tomorrow will be.”


STEM is where jobs are today and where the job growth will be in the future. Data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) support that assertion. Employment in occupations related to STEM—science, technology, engineering, and mathematics—is projected to grow rapidly to a rate of 1 million per year.
