Whereas, the Palmetto 
State is committed to providing its next generation of leaders with a rigorous, 
well-rounded education; and

Whereas, Science, 
Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) are recognized as subjects containing 
world-class knowledge to be mastered by all graduates of South Carolina 
schools; and

Whereas, STEM learning 
in schools and in a wide variety of formal and informal learning settings 
promotes critical thinking, curiosity, persistence, leadership, 
entrepreneurship, and more; and

Whereas, STEM learning 
is enhanced by dedicated and well-prepared teachers, mentors, and volunteers; 
and

Whereas, partnerships 
between education, industry, and community are key to promoting, supporting, 
and improving STEM education in South Carolina; and

Whereas, South 
Carolina's economy, including in the fields of life sciences, information 
technology, logistics, protecting our natural heritage, and energy resilience, 
relies on a STEM-capable workforce; and

Whereas, it is 
important to recognize the contributions of families, educators, employers, and 
volunteers in creating and supporting STEM-focused learning and career 
opportunities. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate 
concurring:

That the members of the South Carolina General 
Assembly, by this resolution, recognize the positive impact of Science, 
Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education on quality of life in 
South Carolina and declare April 2, 2025, as "STEM Education Day" in South

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution
