Encourages tech use:
STEM learning teaches kids about the power of technology and innovation. So, when students encounter new technologies, they will be prepared to embrace them, instead of being hesitant or fearful. This will give them the upper hand in the global landscape, as the world is becoming increasingly tech-centered.
Teaches problem-solving:
STEM education teaches students how to solve problems by using their critical thinking skills. By engaging in STEM learn experiences, students learn how to examine problems and then create a plan to solve them.
Encourages adaption:
To succeed in life, students have to be able to apply what they have learned to a variety of scenarios. STEM education teaches them t
