TalentCulture #WorkTrends

Technology is at the heart of almost everything we touch daily. Mobile phones, cars, as well as computers are a staple in most people's lives. Technology is driven by innovation and innovation is pushed forward by human curiosity and the need to want more. But what happens when people are no longer encouraged to be curious, ask questions, and want more? In essence, life as we know it will become stagnant. Stagnation will affect society in all ways, from economics to people interactions with the potential to set back progress and needed advancements in areas such as healthcare and education, but there are initiatives in place to combat inertia towards advancements.

STEM, a program designed to advance technical thinking in the sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics at the school level, was created to ensure technical progress stagnation doesn't happen. It enables learners to advance their thinking to more significant innovation and critical thinking while building on future skills. Exposing school-age children to the benefits of STEM introduces them to the benefits of technology and the future career opportunities awaiting them.
