What is STEM?
Adapted from Arizona STEM Network and North Carolina New Schools
- STEM education is an integrated, interdisciplinary approach to learning that provides hands-on and relevant learning experiences for students.
- STEM teaching and learning goes beyond the mere transfer of knowledge. It engages students and equips them with critical thinking, problem solving, creative and collaborative skills, and ultimately establishes connections between the school, work place, community and the global economy.
- STEM guides students to understand and apply math and science content, the foundations for success in college and careers.
