What does STEM Education mean?
STEM education is an interdisciplinary approach to learning in which students apply science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in contexts that make connections between school, community, work, and the global enterprise, allowing for the development of STEM literacy and, with it, the ability to compete in the new economy.
A STEM curriculum is designed to provide its students with maximum possible practical exposure and hands-on experience in a particular field. It offers a perfect blend of course modules with a few mandatory lab assignments and group projects, which help in learning through practical implementation of theoretical knowledge.
This kind of vocational training is being introduced at the K-12 level in many schools worldwide. Though science lovers, who do not have any prior experience of such a learning environment, may experience this learning through higher education, that is, the bachelors and masters level education.
