- 3. To increase interest in, awareness of, and achievement in the subjects of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in grades K-12, particularly amongst demographic groups that are traditionally underrepresented.
- 4. To increase the percentage of elementary schools that teach STREAM three-plus hours per week.
- 5. To provide the online solution for STREAM implementation to the overall Bahamian educational ecosystem.

These are all key development areas that can help our children progress no matter what they ultimately choose to be.
