What is the Value of STEM Education?
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education puts an emphasis on preparing future generations to be successful in their careers. The skills gained from STEM education extend beyond those needed to be successful in STEM fields, preparing students with varied interests who move into any industry to have valuable skill sets that allow them to be successful.
Skills Derived from STEM Education
STEM-based education teaches students more than science
and mathematics concepts. The focus on hands-on learning with
real-world applications helps develop a variety of skill sets,
including creativity and 21st-century skills.
21st-century skills include media and technology literacy,
productivity, social skills, communication, flexibility and initiative.
Other skills attained through STEM education include problem
solving, critical thinking, creativity, curiosity, decision making,
leadership, entrepreneurship, acceptance of failure and more.
Regardless of the future career path considered by these students,
these skill sets go a long way to preparing them to be innovative.
