Development with Danielle© — Celebrating Our Youth and National STEM-STEAM Day

National STEM-STEAM Day is observed on November 8th annually, and we couldn’t be more excited!

Welcome to Development with Danielle©, My Weekly “Women in Construction” Blog!

Here’s a shout-out to the schools, organizations, and students involved in science, technology, engineering, art, and math. Our company, Right Choice Construction, is founded on these principles, from procurement to engineering to architecture to interior design.

We are so pleased that our education system is emphasizing skills that can help propel students into the construction realm. If our exciting industry is their calling, the skills learned in junior high and high school prepare students for hands-on, real-world experience in the trades and other workforces.

National STEM-STEAM Day encourages the curiosity of our youth as they study science, technology, engineering, art, and math.

What is National STEM-STEAM Day?

Broadly, STEM-STEAM enrichment is celebrated every November 8th. Coursework and activities help our youth think about solutions to real-world problems. As we pass the torch to these future leaders, our nation benefits from a more knowledgeable and aware group of innovators.

“National STEM/STEAM Day is dedicated to encouraging kids to explore their interests in the fields of science, technology, engineering, art, and math through fun and engaging ways. This day helps students and educators to be aware of STEM/STEAM all around them and how it can impact their lives and the nation’s economy!” —  National Days Today
