Education of STEM goes well beyond the classroom. 

Research has shown that many students express an interest in STEM subjects before the curriculum begins. Teachers witnessed the impact on students in their classrooms and in particular on their desire to explore the possibility of a career in a STEM industry. 97% of the teachers involved reported that the activities had an impact in increasing students’ interest in, and improving their knowledge of, STEM careers.

STEM influences not only students, but  also plays a massive role in solving global 21st century challenges. 

Many parents ask the question: “But how can STEM prepare my child for the future?” and here is the answer. 

STEM education gives students the skills that make them more employable and ready to meet the current labor demand. Learning STEM encompasses a whole range of experiences and skills. Each STEM component brings a valuable contribution to a well-rounded education. 

• Science gives students an in-depth understanding of the world around them. It helps them to become better at research and critical thinking. 

• Students are better prepared to work in high-tech workplaces thanks to being able to learn all things Technology.

• Students can develop their problem-solving abilities and apply their knowledge to new projects through Engineering. 

• Students can use Mathematics to examine data, correct mistakes, and make deliberate decisions when creating solutions. 

What kinds of jobs can they find in STEM fields? In our recent blogs, we discuss careers that students can explore in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. 

STEM education integrates these fields into a single, integrated system. As a result, it trains professionals who can innovate and find sustainable solutions to alter society.

Along with foundational disciplines, the STEM approach to education encourages creativity and divergent thought. Young people are inspired and motivated to develop novel technology. Students benefit from engaging in inquiry-based assignments that place an emphasis on practice and invention. Understanding concepts and promoting knowledge application are two benefits of STEM education.

It is a radical change in thinking, but one we need to embrace if we are to properly equip our young people for the future jobs which haven’t even been thought of yet.
