  • Students and families: Highlights low student STEM readiness. Only 15% met the ACT STEM college readiness benchmark in 2023, a 20% drop since 2019.
  • Underrepresented workers: Calls out workforce gaps in STEM jobs where Hispanic workers were 15% in 2021, Black workers 10%, and American Indian and Alaska Native workers under 1%.
  • Educators and community programs: Encourages businesses, afterschool programs, and community organizations to expand out-of-school STEM learning that complements classroom instruction.
  • Employers and federal agencies: Urges employers to engage meaningfully with schools and asks federal agencies to collaborate and support the full STEM education ecosystem, including financial and contract support for elementary and secondary STEM.
