What Is STEM?
STEM is an innovative approach to education that uses Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics to nurture the creative talent of all students and develop their abilities to be problem solvers, innovators, inventors, logical thinkers, and strong communicators. Rooted in inquiry and design, STEM education spans the entire K-12 education continuum and beyond. Students in STEM environments are able to make sense of the world around them by applying concepts and ideas from the STEM disciplines across the curriculum in all areas including the Arts and Humanities. The goal of STEM education is to prepare students for the 21st century workforce and ensure that they are competitive in the global economy.
