If you have a child/grandchild/niece/nephew/etc in school right now, you’ve probably heard the term STEM. For the uninitiated STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. These are the subjects that many schools are putting an emphasis on right now. Nissan, as always, is looking to help give kids a better chance at the future which is why they have continued their support of the BEST Robotics program for over 20 years.
The BEST (Boosting Engineering, Science and Technology) competition held its first national competition in 2010 where the top finishers from three regions competed to be called the best in the nation. Today, BEST Robotics has over 850 middle schools and high schools and over 18,000 students participating nationwide.
“If you look across the street from the NISSAN plant in Smyrna, you’ll see a $35,000,000 facility where Nissan has partnered with the state of Tennessee to basically bring STEM jobs into the state to train people on things like robotics and mechatronics,” said Williams. “We need those jobs. We need them now and we need them in the future.”
