STEAM is typically an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics, but the Project Fibonacci® Foundation believes it encompasses so much more!
STEAM recognizes that to be successful in life and fulfill the advancing demands of society, individuals must also be creative and use critical thinking skills which are best developed through a combination of STEM and the arts.
According to a recent study from Change the Equation, an organization that supports STEM education, there are 3.6 unemployed workers for every available 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 sets. Source
The Project Fibonacci Foundation is working hard to close the gap between the lack of skilled workers and highly rewarding career opportunities by positively motivating and enlightening the next generation of engineers, scientists, artists and overall productive citizens.
