Editor's Notes
South Carolina, unlike many other states, has no official STEM plan. We do have a vision for what graduates of SC schools should know, be able to do and value. This profile has been widely accepted by K-12 schools and business industry. Out of school time learning centers and STEM institutions like colleges and universities are likely to be less aware and active in pursing action toward this end.
