For South Carolina Public Radio, I'm Dr. Rénard Harris from the College of Charleston. This is Teachable Moments, a minute of education for students and parents.
Jobs in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, also known as STEM fields, pay significantly higher salaries and are growing faster than other sectors, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
Recent technological advances, particularly in artificial intelligence, have increased the demand for STEM workers. To address this need, experts recommend connecting classroom learning to real-world problems through hands-on experiments and virtual field trips.
Starting STEM education early is crucial, and integrating it into all subjects, including humanities and arts, can improve access and help students see its relevance in daily life.
By implementing these strategies, schools can provide high-quality, accessible and engaging STEM education for all students.
For the College of Charleston, I’m Dr. Rénard Harris.
