To help reverse this trend and make up for America's deficiencies in STEM education, a non-profit educational institution known as US ORT Operations, has developed an advanced STEM education program for use in U.S. high schools, and a STEM teacher training curriculum -- both programs certified by the New York Academy of Sciences.

Key Points:

However, U.S. students lag behind many other countries in their STEM skills according to recent reports, notably a 2021 Pentagon national security report to Congress indicating that the STEM education deficit "is quickly approaching crisis status."
In China they are graduating 800% more STEM students from their colleges than the United States.
Dr. Kanani says the need for more STEM education means a need for more qualified STEM teachers.
To help meet this need, Dr. Kanani's team has developed a STEM teacher certification program that trains and empowers teachers to provide high-quality STEM education and improve their credentials.
