The four core elements of STEM include SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, and MATH. They are used together to support hands-on, minds-on learning as well as help prepare our students for college and careers in the future. It’s a place where personalized learning and intrinsic motivation engage students of all ages, interests, and abilities.
