STEM careers have long been hailed as the anchor of innovation and economic progress. However, despite their critical role in shaping the future, there's a concerning trend in the declining interest among students, particularly in non-medical STEM professions. At Junior Achievement, we see opportunities for improvement with STEM awareness efforts.
