STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and mathematics. These are the exact areas of knowledge where Americans are lagging behind many other nations. They are also the subjects that we, as educators, will need to emphasis in order to ensure that our children will be able to compete in an ever-growing global arena.
STEM is:
• absolutely essential in Early Education curriculum
• easy to integrating into other subjects such as art, music and social studies
• fun
• as important for girls as it is for boys
• effective in building an understanding of the world around us
Partners In Learning is providing a foundation for STEM concepts that children will need as they move into their elementary school years.
