What is STEM and why is it important for our children?

STEM is the study of science, technology, engineering and math. Unfortunately, some students can view these as subjects that are too difficult or irrelevant in their day-to-day lives. Through play, negative connotations of STEM are removed. Students will enter the world of curiosity, problem solving, and creativity. " Failure" is part of the learning process- not a termination. This informal approach not only encourages more students to pursue STEM careers, but fosters a population more open to analysis and exploration of the world around us.
