The White House spearheaded a gathering in Washington attended by notable Mathematician and Science wizards to encourage them to discover and develop STEM talents in and outside formal schools.

As the world changes drastically from natural to digital, there is a need to revise the country's strategy in enticing students on what to pursue as a career. Reflecting on the film: "The Man Who Knew Infinity", many realized that being good at STEM is not only an inborn capability.

Like Srinivasa Ramanijan from India who has contributed largely to the field without a degree related to Math, any student interested enough with STEM can explore their hidden skills with the help of a mentor, according to USA Today.

Ken Ono, Emory University's Math professor observed that STEM explorative minds are not only hereditary or an inborn gift. They can be enhanced by a supportive group and practiced to unlock important codes towards extraordinary achievements.

Kendall Clark, of Baltimore who is at Grade 10, experienced the nurturing of a mentor when her teacher discovered her Math ability. She was pursued to take on more challenges and encouraged to initiate STEM experiments to satisfy her curious mind.

Ono vouch on Clark's work that they are pretty unusual as she does theories on her own. Her essays won the award that allows her to continue her studies in the field of STEM. The White House's support is in line with its "Educate to Innovate" program, as per the White House website.

U.S. chief data scientist DJ Patil explains that a mathematician will always be interested in a certain initiative but the support of others may it be mentors, spectators or family members is crucial to the success of such STEM project. 

Diverse discussions can also help in coming up with a solution if a problem arises. The key is in the hard work and repetitive practice. The White House understands the needs to encourage students to embrace STEM, thus the reason for the gathering. It will do everything it can to support brilliant minds.
