Why Is STEM Learning Important?

STEM Club | High Quality Training Provider > Knowledge Base > Why Is STEM Learning Important?

What Is “STEM”?

STEM is a curriculum based on the idea of educating students in four specific disciplines — science, technology, engineering and mathematics — in an interdisciplinary and applied approach. Rather than teach the four disciplines as separate and discrete subjects, STEM integrates them into a cohesive learning paradigm based on real-world applications.

Why Is STEM Learning Important?

STEM concepts are substantial because they exist in every part of our lives. Science underlies everything in the world from biology to astronomy. Technology is dramatically developing; everyday there are new software, new applications, and new devices that collectively change our lives. Engineering is the usage of the technologies and science to design new innovations or solutions such as decreasing global warming, building roads or bridges, and designing a little new vehicle. Mathematics has now become part of every occupation, from school teachers to scientists, everyone needs mathematics, for instance, to make forecasts and generate statistics.

In a survey focused on students perusing Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics in the United States [2] has found that 80% of jobs in the next decade will require technology skills and that only 16% of the bachelor’s degree in 2020 will specialize in STEM.

So STEM learning helps the young to become problem solvers, innovators, creators, and critical-thinkers. This qualifies them to be leaders of a new generation able to solve tomorrow’s world challenges.

STEM learning prepares the young to succeed in life, independent from which career path they choose to follow.

“STEM” In International Focus

STEM Learning and Education has become a point of focus for the world leading countries such as USA, UK, Canada, European Union, Japan, and others which illustrates the importance of  STEM learning is today’s world

Examples of Countries Interests

  • In the USA: in the year 2016 dedicated a budget of 3.0 Billion dollars for STEM education programs.
  • In the European Union: in the year 2015 launched an initiative to encourage IT companies to educational ICT solutions focus on STEM.

Examples of Funders Interests

  • In USA, Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) granted 1 million dollars to STEM Education.
  • In Europe, Boing Company donated to launch European STEM Education effort.
