Greetings STEM Career Aficionados, 

        I have found various schools here in Florida (U.S.A.), that are focusing on the STEM initiative. For those of you still searching for alternatives, or even more information on STEM Careers and there many fields the following resources might play a very good role in assisting you on your career path. 

        I have plenty of students wanting to go into the STEM Careers, but not enough of them know what options they have in their local state, nor nationwide. So here you have a compiled list of STEM locations in FL. Eventually, I will add more states as I go through them.
