The mission of the National PTA is to make every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children through collaboration, commitment, accountability, respect, inclusivity, and integrity.
The STEM + Families Propelling Our World program, sponsored by Huntington Ingalls Industries, focuses on empowering PTAs with resources to host hands-on engineering design challenges that unite students and families. It aims to provide families with comprehensive activity guides and support materials, help children explore STEM activities and careers – with a particular emphasis on skilled trades, and ensure that all students have the opportunity to engage with and be inspired by STEM fields.
