What is STEM Education?
STEM Education is a curriculum based on the idea of educating students in four specific disciplines- science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. STEM puts all of these subjects together to make a cohesive learning program based on real-world applications.
Why is STEM Education important?
STEM Education is important because STEM-related jobs need 8.65 million workers by 2018 since there is an alarmingly large shortage of employees with the necessary skills. STEM can help students get interested in wanting to see if they want a job in computing, engineering, and so on.
How can STEM Education shape the future?
STEM Education can shape the future just by easily existing. Many students are still unsure of what they want in life. Many of the things students want to study are medicine or working in business. Since many people in engineering and math lack workers in that area, STEM is a wonderful way to spark students interest in something new and different. STEM Education will shape the future for the kids of this generation.
