Quite simply, STEM is an acronym for the core skills of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. In child development, these skills intertwine with hands-on, problem-based, real-world learning, making connections between school, community, work, and global enterprise. STEM skills help young children explore, observe, and predict. They boost logic, prompting questions and the integration of obtained knowledge into life.
Getting children interested in STEM subjects early in life greatly improves their learning proficiency. In addition, focusing on your child’s STEM skills throughout their education will lend them a competitive edge when they compete in the global workforce later in life.
