STEM
STEM education prepares future generations for career success, extending beyond what they need to excel in technical fields. It teaches students more than science and mathematics concepts.
21st-century skills include technology, literacy, productivity, social skills, communication, flexibility, and initiative. Other skills gained through STEM education include problem-solving, critical thinking, creativity, curiosity, decision-making, leadership, entrepreneurship and acceptance of failure. These will prepare students for success and innovation, regardless of their chosen career path.
