Today, the General Motors Foundation announced a generous donation of $2.875 million in STEM grants. (STEM stands for “Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics,” though, by the lack of the Oxford comma, it’s pretty clear that it should be called STEEM, for Science, Technology, English, Engineering, and Mathematics.)
