What is STEM?
Successful K-12 STEM EducationScience, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are cultural achievements that reflect our humanity, power our economy, and constitute fundamental aspects of our lives as citizens, consumers, parents, and members of the workforce. Providing all students with access to quality education in the STEM disciplines is important to our nation's competitiveness. However, it is challenging to identify the most successful schools and approaches in the STEM disciplines because success is defined in many ways and can occur in many different types of schools and settings. Successful K-12 STEM Education defines a framework for understanding "success" in K-12 STEM education.
"STEM" is short for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.
