                               RESOLUTION


 
    Directing the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the 
Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives on plans to 
         implement certain STEM education and outreach efforts.

Whereas the Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives is 
        encouraged by recent Department of Defense efforts to consider new 
        science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (``STEM'') ecosystem 
        efforts, such as supporting the 2022 Systems Engineering Research Center 
        Workshop on the Department of Defense-Defense Industry Collaboration in 
        STEM Education and Workforce Development;
Whereas the Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives strongly 
        supports efforts to build on the recommendations from this report and 
        promote deeper collaboration among the Department of Defense and the 
        Defense Industrial Base to build better primary and secondary education 
        and outreach efforts for creating diverse pathways into the national 
        security ecosystem;
Whereas, as the Department of Defense carries out these activities, it should 
        ensure a focus on programmatic and curricular innovation such as the 
        development of innovative STEM curriculum related to emerging technology 
        priorities, new education technologies or adaption of technologies for 
        use in Defense-related education efforts, and enhancing teacher 
        preparation efforts in geographies with military-connected families; and
Whereas the Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives also 
        encourages the Department of Defense to consider partnering with the 
        National Science Foundation as it pursues this effort: Now, therefore, 
        be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives directs the Secretary 
of Defense to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services no later than February 1, 2024, on how the Department of 
Defense plans to implement the aforementioned report's recommendations 
and work with the defense industrial base to build better primary and 
secondary STEM education and outreach efforts for creating diverse 
pathways into the national security ecosystem.
