Today, Congressman Henry Cuellar (D-TX28) released an informational video for residents of the 28^th District of Texas highlighting the importance of investment in science research and technology and outlining resources for students and families interested in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields.  He was joined by Dr. Joan Ferrini-Mundy, Assistant Director of the National Science Foundation and Jennifer Bernal, Public Policy Analyst at Google. 

“The Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) field is one of the fastest growing sectors in our economy and the impact of technology is increasingly visible in our everyday lives.  It is vital that young people learn about the opportunities available in STEM fields and become familiar with technology from an early age,” said Congressman Cuellar.  “That is why I invited Google and the National Science Foundation, both leaders in the field of research and investment in science and technology, to join me for an informational discussion.  I encourage viewers in the 28^th District to explore the resources available to them from both organizations and use this opportunity to learn more about this important field.”
