The Sputnik Effect refers to the surge of interest and investment in science and technology education and research in the United States following the launch of the Soviet satellite Sputnik in 1957. This event sparked fears of U.S. technological inferiority and prompted initiatives to improve STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education, leading to increased funding for education and research programs. The effect is often cited as a catalyst for the U.S. space race and the subsequent development of advanced technologies.
