urging the department of education to emphasize STEM education in public schools.
HR 9 urges New Hampshire's Department of Education to prioritize STEM education in public high schools by advocating for dedicated courses in robotics, programming, engineering, and advanced mathematics. The bill aims to expose students earlier to high-demand fields like robotics engineering (projected 9% growth) and software development (24% growth), helping them explore career paths before college. It directly affects all New Hampshire public high schools, requiring them to develop or expand these specialized course offerings. The resolution does not mandate specific curricula but calls for the Department to actively promote these programs to better prepare students for evolving workforce needs.
