Celebrating National STEAM Day with UWorld: A Commitment to STEAM Education and Innovation

Celebrating National STEAM Day

With nearly 10 million workers in science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM) occupations now – and that number projected to grow by almost 11% by 2031, over twice as fast as the growth rate for all other occupations— it’s critical to celebrate the advancements and commitments to supporting STEAM students.

As we recognize National STEAM Day on November 8, UWorld is celebrating its ongoing commitment to the advancement of these critical fields. As a company dedicated to preparing students for high-stakes exams and future career success, UWorld recognizes the critical importance of STEAM for individual achievement and for fostering innovation in our communities.

Every product we create in education—from Advanced Placement (AP) test prep to medical licensing exams—focuses on equipping learners with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel in today’s technology-driven world.
