What is STEM Education

What is STEM Education?

STEM Education is really about so much more than the disciplines and content.

STEM education is a learner-centered approach to teaching providing students with a problem-based, transdisciplinary, and personalized learning experience. STEM education uses the foundational practices and skills essential to the core disciplines of Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Humanities, and Mathematics.

STEM Education has the unique ability to help students overcome obstacles to learning by providing inclusive, accessible, and culturally-responsive learning experiences to engage students at every level, accelerate learning through transdisciplinary experiences and innovative approaches to teaching, and prepare our students for future success through the use of relevant, real-world learning experiences that encourage the development of life skills such as empathy, effective collaboration and communication, and critical thinking skills, that impact outcomes for students in all fields, not just traditional STEM disciplines. This work will impact every Ohioan and help our entire state workforce thrive at all levels.

So, while STEM technically stands for “Science, Technology, Engineering, & Mathematics,” STEM Education is really about so much more than the disciplines and content. The goal of STEM and STEAM schools is to foster intellectual, entrepreneurial and technical talent through design thinking. This is vital to Ohio’s future economic growth and prosperity. Making this future a reality requires an aligned education system to support all Ohio students become innovators and inventors, self-reliant and logical thinkers, and technologically proficient problem solvers.
