A concurrent RESOLUTION

to recognize the positive impact of science, 
technology, ENGINEERING AND MATHEMATICS (STEM) EDUCATION ON THE QUALITY OF LIFE 
IN SOUTH CAROLINA, AND TO DECLARE MARCH 25, 2026, AS "STEM EDUCATION DAY" IN 
SOUTH CAROLINA.

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 school and after school, in a wide variety of formal and informal learning 
settings, all contribute to increased STEM knowledge and skills; 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 life sciences, information technology, logistics, protecting 
our natural heritage, energy resilience, and a growing focus on electrifying 
automotive transportation 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 
the quality of life of the residents of South Carolina, and declare March 25, 
2026, as "STEM Education Day" in South Carolina.

Be it further resolved that 
a copy of this resolution be presented to South Carolina's Coalition for 
Mathematics and Science.
