Congress is currently considering Fiscal Year 2027 funding priorities, and proposed cuts to education and science programs could significantly impact STEM learning opportunities nationwide. Strong federal investments in STEM education are essential to preparing students for high-demand careers, strengthening our economy, and maintaining U.S. leadership in innovation and technology.

Now is the time to speak up. Contact your Senators and Representative and urge them to protect and strengthen funding for critical STEM education programs!
