About STEM Day
North Carolina New Schools created STEM Day to help educators in the STEM school network develop a deeper understanding of programs, learn about current research, and participate in activities with STEM professionals. These educators want STEM curriculum to include relevant experiences for students. To achieve this, teachers of all content areas must know about the real challenges professionals face. So they devote time to visit local employers and see STEM-related jobs in action.
