What is STEM
  • STEM refers to the areas of Science, Technology,
    Engineering, and Math. However, STEM initiatives
    are not science, technology, engineering, and
    mathematics in isolation, rather STEM is the
    integration of courses, programs, or linked
    learning opportunities using an interdisciplinary
    approach through exploration, discovery, and
    problem solving.
