Jacky Rosen (NV-03) visits Green Valley High Schools student coders, discusses bipartisan STEM bills to strengthen STEM education HENDERSON, NV -- Today, Congresswoman Jacky Rosen (NV-03), a member of the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee, the STEM Education Caucus, and the Congressional STEAM Caucus, visited Green Valley High School and met with female student coders. Rosen discussed her bipartisan STEM education bills, which passed the House unanimously and now await action in the Senate. Rosen met with young coders in Nevada's 3rd Congressional district last year had recently passed the House of Representatives. A strong STEM education is vital if we want to see more of our students succeed in a 21st century economy. I was happy to visit with these students today and see their passion for science and tech firsthand. I'll continue working to improve STEM education so that we can prepare Nevada's students for the future. BACKGROUND: The bipartisan Building Blocks of STEM Act (H.R. 3397), introduced by Reps. Jacky Rosen (D-NV) and Steve Knight (R-CA), would direct the National Science Foundation (NSF) to more equitably distribute funding for early childhood education in its Discovery Research PreK-12 program, which seeks to enhance the learning and teaching of STEM and address the immediate challenges that are facing PreK-12 STEM education. Currently, the Discovery Research PreK-12 program focuses the majority of its research on students in middle school and older. H.R. 3397 came to the House floor after unanimously passing out of the House Science, Space, & Technology Committee, of which Reps. Rosen and Knight are Members. In committee, the text of Rep. Rosen's other bipartisan STEM bill -- the Code Like a Girl Act (H.R. 3316) -- was added to H.R. 3397. Introduced alongside Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), the Code Like a Girl Act would create two NSF grant programs to encourage young girls to pursue computer science: one to understand what contributes to the participation of young girls under 11 in STEM and computer science, and one to develop and evaluate interventions in Pre-K and elementary school classrooms, with the goal of increasing girls' participation. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
