STEM stands for integrated learning experiences in: Science Technology Engineering Math
The key word is integrated. Traditionally these subjects are taught separately with technology added as an afterthought. STEM education integrates subjects with technology used as a tool to enhance understanding, communicate, and share learning.
Emphasis on: 21st century skills Critical thinking Problem solving Inquiry Collaboration
STEM careers : Scientists (help people, help animals, help
the environment, study the stars) Technology (computer programming, video
games, robotics, information) Engineers (designing, building, developing) Mathematicians (money, codes, numbers,
sports stats, etc.)
Everyday outcomes of STEM: Cell phones, smart phones or MP3 players - computer
engineering, high tech manufacturing Video games - computer engineering: hardware, and
software Movies- computer engineering: hardware, and software Cars - mechanical engineering, high tech manufacturing,
mining engineering, petroleum engineering Digital photography - computer software and hardware
engineering Plastic - petroleum engineering
