What is STEM?

STEM refers to Science, Mathematics, Engineering and Technology. STEM Education is a teaching and learning approach which emphasises the integration of knowledge and skill in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics to address problem faced by the community as well as global issues that require a skilled workforce and knowledgeable citizens which can apply these skills and knowledge to develop the solutions (SEAMEO, 2020). STEM education is to make students with critical thinking skills that would make them creative problem solvers and ultimately more marketable in the workforce.
