The resolution urges the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education in Louisiana to obtain an annual license for a three-dimensional (3D) game-based learning platform. This platform is intended to align with the state's chemistry and physical science standards and to incorporate real-world technologies that can enhance career opportunities for middle and high school students. The resolution emphasizes the importance of a strong STEM-educated workforce for Louisiana's economic growth, highlighting the critical role of chemistry in various high-growth industries such as energy, agriculture, and manufacturing.
Furthermore, the resolution points out that school district funding is often prioritized for math and reading due to accountability measures, leaving limited resources for science education, particularly in chemistry and physical science. By advocating for the procurement of this 3D learning platform, the resolution aims to bolster science education and better prepare students for STEM careers that are vital for sustaining Louisiana's economy. A copy of the resolution will be sent to the president of the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education.
