STEM Education

STEM Education refers to an interdisciplinary approach to teaching and learning that integrates the subjects of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. The aim of STEM education is to prepare students for a competitive and technology-driven workforce, fostering critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and innovation. It emphasizes hands-on, experiential learning, often through projects and collaborative activities, which allows students to apply their knowledge in real-world contexts. STEM education can occur at various educational levels, from early childhood through higher education, and may include coding, robotics, experiments, and engineering design challenges. It seeks to engage students in these fields, particularly encouraging underrepresented groups to pursue careers in STEM areas. Overall, STEM education plays a crucial role in developing skills necessary for future jobs and addressing challenges in society through scientific and technological advancements.
