What is STEM?
Science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education puts an emphasis on preparing future generations to have successful futures.
Why is STEM important?
STEM-based education teaches children more than science and mathematics concepts. The focus on hands-on learning with real-world applications helps develop a variety of skill sets, including creativity, media and technology literacy, productivity, social skills, communication, flexibility and initiative. Other skills attained through STEM education include problem solving, critical thinking, creativity, curiosity, decision making, leadership, entrepreneurship, acceptance of failure and more. STEM education creates critical thinkers, increases science literacy, and enables the next generation of innovators.
