Houston, We Have a Problem : Math and science education lags in the United States, but CASIS is working to reverse the trend.

According to the U.S. Department of Education, only 16% of U.S. high school seniors are sufficiently proficient and interested in mathematics and science to pursue STEM careers. Essentially, the United States is facing a potential educational crisis.
