The Air Force Association is:• 501(c)(3) non‐profit organization focused on:
• Educating the American public, advocating for strong national security, and supporting military members and their families
• Historical focus on advocating for strong national security policies• We see STEM education today as a national security issue
When compared to other nations, the math and science achievement of U.S. pupils and the rate of STEM degree attainment appear inconsistent with a nation considered the world leader in scientific innovation. In a recent international assessment of 15‐year‐old students, the U.S. ranked 28th in math literacy and 24th in science literacy. Moreover, the U.S. ranks 20th among all nations in the proportion of 24‐year‐olds who earn degrees in natural science or engineering.
