    How might designating an official National STEM Week increase student interest in science careers compared to existing STEM promotion efforts?

  2. 02

    What reporting requirements should the National Science and Technology Council include to measure whether National STEM Week effectively reaches underrepresented groups in STEM fields?

  3. 03

    Since the bill encourages but does not require school participation, what barriers might prevent schools with limited resources from participating in National STEM Week activities?
