STEM is for every student

This understanding goes beyond knowledge of the basic concepts. It is a way of thinking, problem solving, and integrating information so that you and your students approach problems and ideas both critically and creatively. These skills and approaches to problem solving are essential for students today, who must compete in an increasingly digital society and who are entering an extremely competitive job market. The habits of mind that are practiced while exploring STEM content, and the 21st century skills that are practiced while engaging in inquiry, team-based and project-based learning, are critical for equipping students with the tools necessary to be successful.
