Studies show children of activeley engaged parents in their educations have higher academic success outcomes, with reduced dropout rates and increased progression onto secondary education (https://files.acrobat.com/a/preview/aea9241a-b86f-4c06-af57-1d9afe3626c2 ).
Further research shows the demand for STEM based workers in the 21st Century job market is at an all time high and is only projected to grow as our technolgy based society expands (http://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/stem-education/2011/11/03/stem-jobs-outlook-strong-but-collaboration-needed-to-fill-jobs).
