STREAM is important because it pervades every part of our lives. Science is everywhere in the world around us. Technology is continuously expanding into every aspect of our lives. Reading is the ultimate foundation of everything and can not be overlooked. It is by far the most fundamental part of learning. Engineers will help us travel into space safely and efficiently, and navigate through well constructed highways and beyond. The Arts allow individuals to express their creativity and design esthetics in unique ways using varied mediums. Mathematics allow many things in society to function properly. Bridges, medicine, architecture, cars, farming, finances and much more require the use of mathematics. Without math, we would not have come as far as we have in society.
