Science, technology, engineering and mathematics are taught to children at a very young age; those same skills play a vital role in every U.S. Army job field.
Soldiers from the 65th Brigade Engineer Battalion, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, spent time with students and families of Mililani Middle School as part of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) night on Apr. 09, 2016, providing insight on how the material used in class are applies in the job force.
“Our participation in STEM night was a resounding success - Soldiers got the chance to interact with families, students and demystify the military while explaining the science behind some of our technology at work,” said Lt. Col. Heather Levy, 65th BEB commanding officer. “The long line of students at our booths demonstrated that the 65th brought interesting and intellectually challenging presentations to STEM night.”

Thanks for sharing COL Mikel J. Burroughs I hope it sis still trues that science, technology, engineering and mathematics are taught to children. More important that studying to pass a test is learning techniques and thought processes like logic and reason to solve problems and deal with real world situations like soldiers do every day.

I have volunteered at 2 STEM events here in El Paso, TX. I believe it's important to push STEM rather than focus on testing. Great to see this unit being involved in STEM activities, many more units should continue this positive and influential trend.
