If the information is not up to date, the whole educational system will be affected negatively because there will be a gap between what has been learned and what is actually applied.
After STEM education, students usually seek careers in the science fields. You have made a new student who may take the science community to a whole new level. Teachers and parents have responsibilities in creating these new generations. Parents should encourage their children to seek careers in the scientific fields. Some programs outside the normal educational system may help children in seeking STEM. Besides, showing children real-life applications of STEM education can make them more interesting in creating such terrific things in the future.
