There is an alarming global trend indicating that young people in the modern world are hesitant to pursue opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The crisis has resulted in a steady decline of enrollment in STEM academic programs. To address these issues The College of the Florida Keys proposes a project that will improve the STEM capacity of the College broadly, while also providing a particular focus on the flagship STEM Division of Marine Science & Technology (MS&T). The project aims to develop unique and exciting STEM career pathways that will remove barriers to entrance, reduce anxiety, and reward success as students transition from STEM academia to the STEM workforce.
