This chapter highlights the story of STEM. There is a moral and economic underpinning to the STEM imperative. Anything short of the cultivation of a culture for STEM is insufficient. Success requires a systemic rather than a piecemeal approach to STEM education. All dimensions of schooling must be on the table—STEM is ushering an invigorating evolution of education. The story also presents why STEM matters to business leaders, school administrators, and teachers. Teacher background information, standards, and references are included. This book selection also includes the Table of Contents, About This Book, Acknowledgments, Epilogue, and Index.
