What is STEM Education?
Take Five
STEM education is a way to combine many related disciplines—currently viewed by students and society as independent subjects with little overlap—into a single, integrated program that emphasizes the interdependences among the four disciplines and their applications to everyday life.
Why is STEM Important?
Reason #1
As a nation, we need well-educated citizens in STEM fields—and we need them in large numbers. The current system fails to meet this need.
The "T" and "E" in STEM are rarely taught as disciplines in K–12 settings. Because of this, few students understand the way in which these fields benefit our society. Students also do not understand the variety of career opportunities that are available to them.
By coordinating science and math courses with technology and engineering courses, students can gain a better understanding of the world they live in. With that understanding comes motivation, and motivation is the key to the student's success and the success of our society.
