  4. Why STEM Education? Our evolving knowledge-based economy demands agile and innovative critical thinkers and problem solvers. Increasingly, developing Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) skills and competencies is a vehicle for developing critical thinkers and entrepreneurial innovators. However, traditionally underserved populations in STEM education and underrepresented populations in STEM fields (poor, minority/ELL, rural, female) often do not have access to – or do not perceive access to – high quality STEM education and experiences – THIS RESULTS IN AN OPPORTUNITY GAP Excellence and equity in STEM education and experiences will enable Colorado to close the opportunity gap while simultaneously ensuring we are preparing students with employable skills and meeting current and future workforce needs.
