What is STEM?
STEM is not just a subject at school, it's a way of thinking and doing. It's an important skill set that could see our students working together to solve some of the world's greatest challenges.
STEM stands for SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, MATHEMATICS but it’s not about being an expert in all of those things, instead it’s about harnessing the essential and transferable skills behind them.
