STEM refers to a curriculum based on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math and teaches that these fields are not independent, but rather, intertwined. STEM education is important because the US is in great need of people interested in these fields due to the noticeable decrease of students who feel allured by such subjects. STEM can help shape the US into a country leading in Science Technology, Engineering and, Math. Because STEM encourages underrepresented students to thrive in these fields STEM education can promote diversity. In addition, it can also provide many people that could create cures for some sicknesses, develop more advanced technology, construct more efficient homes, and teach society to have a more mathematical intellect.

Research confirms that PBL is an effective and enjoyable way to learn and develop deeper learning competencies required for success in college, career and civic life. -Buck Institute of Education
