What Does STEM Stand For? An Explanation of STEM and STEM-Based Courses

What does STEM Stand for in Education?

"STEM jobs" or "STEM Education" are common phrases that you may have already heard of, but you may be wondering what does STEM stand for? STEM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. So STEM education revolves around the learning and teaching of these topics. STEM is often associated with being key to innovation, which is why you may have heard the acronym so frequently.

 
 

STEM has great innovation potential which makes most people in the STEM world believe that STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) should be fully integrated into a child’s education. Encouraging STEM based education in everyday learning life may enhance the likelihood of children taking up a career in STEM. 

Under the surface, learning STEM subjects doesn’t just enable the student to learn about science or maths but, enhances skills of exploratory learning, problem-solving, and critical thinking. Therefore, learning STEM based subjects is invaluable for a school or home school student.
