Kids 2025 Countdown is a global initiative to prepare children for the future by developing their skills in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). The initiative was launched in 2015 by the United Nations and is supported by a number of organizations, including the World Economic Forum and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
The Kids 2025 Countdown is based on the belief that STEM skills are essential for children’s future success. In the 21st century, STEM jobs are growing faster than any other type of job. STEM skills are also essential for everyday life, as they help children to understand the world around them and to solve problems.
