The Smithsonian Science Education Center projected 2.4 million vacant science, technology, engineering and mathematics jobs in 2018. The need spurred STEM camp growth including one that Northern Star Credit Union helped launch.

“In the 21st century, scientific and technological innovations have become increasingly important as we face the benefits and challenges of both globalization and a knowledge-based economy. To succeed in this new information-based and highly technological society, students need to develop their capabilities in STEM to levels much beyond what was considered acceptable in the past,” the National Science Foundation declared.
