The Importance of STEM Education (Infographic)

Here’s why we need more STEM Education for all children.

The state of education for middle and high school students in math and science is inadequate. About 70 percent of students are unprepared for college-level science and math. Students who study at least algebra 2 in high school have a higher chance of obtaining a college degree, 30 percent of college graduates earn a degree in science and engineering and of those graduates, 90 percent of bachelor degree holders in 2009 were men aged 25 or older. In 2008 China had 8 times more students earn a bachelors degree in engineering than the United States. Over 15 of the fastest growing jobs in the United States require post-secondary education. Estimates predict that by 2018 over half of all jobs in the United States will require a post-secondary education and 90 percent of stem jobs in 2018 will go to those with a post-secondary education. The number of scientists writing research papers has dropped and the number of women earning degrees in computer science has risen. Stem education is important, improves the chances of success at work and school and the United States does not have a good enough public education to properly prepare all students to get to it.

Is your child struggling in school?

Get your free personalized learning roadmap

You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.

  • Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
  • Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
  • You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
  • Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly

Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.

Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.

Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.

A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
