While science and math have been in schools for a long time, many parents ask ‘what is STEM’? and wonder how it will help their children in the real world. The term STEM may be one that you have heard before. In fact, educators and leaders often talk about the importance of STEM education for the next generation.

But what is STEM?

STEM is the acronym for science, technology, engineering, and math. It’s the education that provides students with an interdisciplinary approach to learning. STEM education makes learning “real” and gives students opportunities to see the connection between the content they are studying and the application of that content in authentic and relevant ways. STEM education is an experiential learning pedagogy in which the application of knowledge and skills are integrated through in-context projects or problems focused on learning outcomes tied to the development of important college and career readiness proficiencies. Integrating arts, music, and drama into STEM education enhances student engagement and fosters a deeper understanding of complex concepts. This approach, often referred to as STEAM. By incorporating artistic elements, students can explore scientific and mathematical principles through diverse, hands-on experiences, making learning more dynamic and relatable. Music and drama can also improve cognitive abilities and emotional expression, creating a more holistic educational experience that prepares students for a multifaceted world.
