48 Years of STEM Excellence

“To succeed in this new information-based

and highly technological society, students need to

develop their capabilities in STEM to levels far

beyond what was considered acceptable in the

past.” (National Science Foundation)

As a Nation, it is Critical that

We Motivate Students to

Pursue STEM Related CareersThe influential Change the Equation released a study that

showed there are 3.6 unemployed workers for every job in the

United States. That compares with only one unemployed STEM

worker for two unfilled STEM jobs throughout the country. Many

jobs are going unfilled simply for lack of people with the right

skill set. Even with more than 13 million Americans unemployed,

the manufacturing sector cannot find people with the skills to

take nearly 600,000 unfilled jobs, according to a study by the

Manufacturing Institute and Deloitte.

How Can You Help?

Since 1970, sponsorship of SCIENCE SCREEN REPORT has been a

turn-key and ideal way for organizations to help improve STEM

education in schools locally, regionally and nationally. Your

support identifies your organization as community-minded as

well as committed to STEM education.

SCIENCE SCREEN REPORT OnLINE® features episodes of SCIENCE

SCREEN REPORT and SCIENCE SCREEN REPORT FOR KIDS and is

provided to schools free of charge through the generosity of

corporations, foundations, and associations which understand the

importance of motivating students to pursue careers in STEM

related fields.

How Does It Work?

Your initial sponsorship includes the creation of a YouTube type

STEM news channel that includes 70 episodes of both our

secondary and elementary level series. Each year thereafter we

release 16 new episodes starting in the fall with eight titles

designed for middle and high schools, and eight for elementary

schools.

Each episode examines the most recent developments and

discoveries in science and technology and is designed to help

students understand the vital role STEM plays in our everyday

lives. These valuable curriculum enhancement materials are a

perfect way to complement and promote education outreach

efforts in the communities your organization calls home, while

visibly identifying your organization as a partner in education. In

addition, sponsorship is an ideal way to promote scholarship,

mentoring and intern opportunities you offer.
