WHAT IS STEM LEARNING?
STEM Learning is an educational approach that focuses on the teaching and learning of Science, Technology,

Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) subjects in an integrated and interdisciplinary way. It emphasizes the
development of critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity skills through hands-on activities and experiences. It
encourages students to explore, experiment, and discover the principles and concepts of STEM subjects through real-world applications.
 
WHY STEM LEARNING?
STEM Learning is increasingly more important in today's world. Students will develop the skills and knowledge they need
to succeed in a rapidly changing world and contribute to the development of new technologies, innovations, and solutions to complex problems. A student well-versed and literate in these fields tends to be an innovative and critical thinker. They are able to apply what they’ve learned to real world problems, and improving their communities along the way.
