“STEM is not a curriculum. Rather, STEM
educations is an approach to learning that removes
the traditional barriers separating the four
diciplines and integrates them into real-world,
rigorous, relevant learning for students.”

STEM Learning
“All STEM learning does have one thing in common
– it gives students opportunities to apply the skills
and knowledge they have learned or are in the
process of learning. Application is at the heart of
STEM education.”
