Educating Parents About STEM Programming

John F. Kennedy challenged the world over 50 years ago that if we were going to open the space frontier, then we needed to push our minds: we needed to foster more technology-driven education. STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education was not started with JFK, but it can certainly be linked back to his challenge.

Most economists believe that the best paying jobs of the future will come from STEM programming. Here are 12 examples of very promising STEM jobs that students can look further into:
