STEM is a term that we hear a lot of these days, especially for those of us families who have kids in school. But what does STEM actually encompass? STEM is an acronym for science, technology, engineering, and math. In today’s rapidly changing world, it’s important for kids to learn these particular skills from a young age. With STEM, kids are being prepared for future jobs in tech that haven’t even been invented yet!
STEM helps kids learn how to think critically, problem-solve, and be innovative. But this type of education isn’t all about numbers and tech, STEM also encourages creativity and hands-on learning. We all know that kids love working with their hands and asking questions about the world around them!
