SolidWorks Corporation has worked with industry professionals and educators to develop curricula in an effort to pique the interests of high school students to seek careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). This initiative is aimed at improving students' math and science skills and to pique their interest in pursuing STEM related careers.
The National Science Foundation is a supporter of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math), an emerging movement in American education that helps students gain interests in these fields in an effort to keep the US technologically competitive now and in the future.
