WASHINGTON, DC – The U.S. Senate this week unanimously passed bipartisan legislation introduced by Senators Jacky Rosen (D-NV) and Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) designating November 8, 2025 as National Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Day. The resolution also celebrates the importance of STEM in education and the workforce and urges the American people to observe National STEM Day with appropriate programs and activities.
“Investing in STEM education and workforce development can help create pathways to successful careers in the most in-demand industries in Nevada and across the United States,” said Senator Rosen. “I’m thrilled the Senate unanimously passed my bipartisan resolution to designate National STEM Day and highlight the importance of supporting students and workers in STEM.”
“The STEM Education Coalition is proud to again support Senator Rosen’s National STEM Day Resolution,” said James Brown, Executive Director of the STEM Education Coalition. “At a time when the nation’s science and technology workforce faces historic challenges, this resolution underscores the importance of sustained investment in STEM education and the partnerships that connect schools, community programs, and industry to prepare every student for the opportunities of tomorrow.”
The resolution is endorsed by the following organizations: STEM Education Coalition, Society of Women Engineers (SWE), Afterschool Alliance, Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE), Afterschool STEM Hub, National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, Center for Excellence in Education, Association for Women in Science, The American Mathematics Society, Teaching Institute for Excellence in STEM, and STEM Ecosystems.
Senators Rosen and Capito are the co-founders and co-chairs of the Senate Women in STEM Caucus. Their bipartisan Building Blocks of STEM Act, which helps increase girls’ participation in computer science, was signed into law in 2019. Earlier this year, Senator Rosen introduced the bipartisan STEM RESTART Act, which would provide funding to support mid-career internships, known as “returnships,” for workers seeking to return to or transition into the STEM workforce.
