 * [|Connect the Dots] Discovery Communications' STEM initiative- Our kids are the next generation of innovators, problem solvers, and game changers. But first, they must embrace science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) to build the skills that will serve as their tool set for the future. For that to happen, we must work together to ignite their curiosity and get them excited about STEM in their everyday lives. So we ask you to join us in connecting the dots between learning and life. Together, we can ignite the spark in students around the clock and around the world.
