Today, Representative John Moolenaar (R-Midland) spoke on the House floor in favor of the STEM Education Act of 2015. The bill will support merit-based grants through the National Science Foundation for programs that provide students with STEM education opportunities outside of the classroom.
"Science, technology, engineering and mathematics education is critical to preparing today's students for the opportunities of the future, including good-paying, skilled trade jobs in construction, manufacturing and welding. This legislation will help ensure that America remains the world leader in research and innovation," said Moolenaar.
