STEM is an approach to learning that integrates different content areas - science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.Through STEM, students are able to develop important life skills such as:critical thinking skills, problem solving skills, personal skills, and more.
STEM education creates critical thinkers, problem solvers, explorers, and prepares students for the real world.
STEM allows students to become investigators and explore different approaches and strategies, test those strategies to find the most effective and efficient solution, and then share and defend your ideas with your peers.
Why should STEM be implemented?STEM has the ability to enhance students learning by allowing students to explore different ideas, workcollaboratively, share ideas, think for themselves, provide real world connections, and connect student learning through the integration of multiple content areas.
To conclude, the hands-on learning with real world applications help develop a variety of different skills while also making learning more powerful and meaningful.
