You’ve heard stats like this: barely half of all adults know how long it takes for the Earth to revolve around the Sun. President Obama has been pushing STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education after the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology released a report with recommendations last month. All the arguments are there, that science knowledge helps our economy and creates a more innovative, knowledgeable society (so we can go to the Moon and invent iPhones and write correct textbooks and stuff). Plus it’s fun! We think science is just the best, from the vastness of space to all the crazy things swimming at the bottom of the sea, so we were excited to hear about a bunch of science events coming to D.C. this month.
