A mix of students, entrepreneurs, educators and executives listen to a session.

To increase the United States’ overall competitiveness, the fields of science technology engineering and math, or STEM, are being re-emphasized. Arizona is no exception.

The Brewer administration has been talking about its importance as the state pushes to get a more educated workforce and attract higher-paying jobs.

That push was fully on display Thursday at the Innovation Summit, which was attended by KJZZ Science Innovation Reporter Andrew Bernier.

Andrew Bernier was a senior field correspondent at KJZZ from 2014 to 2016.
