Definition

STEM refers to: the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

Georgia STEM

"This approach to education is designed to revolutionize the teaching of subject areas such as mathematics and science by incorporating technology and engineering into regular curriculum by creating a “meta-discipline.'"

http://stemgeorgia.org/

Sagamore Hills Elementary Selected as a STEM School in 2013

STEM is the integration of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics in the curriculum. STEM is a framework of instruction based on state and national science, technology, engineering, and math standards. Sagamore Hills students will experience instruction and activities rich in science and technology. Sagamore Hills has received resources and materials to support this curriculum such as computers, LEGO and robotics labs, and professional learning for the teachers.

STEM education encourages a curriculum that is driven by problem solving, discovery, exploratory learning, and student-centered development of ideas and solutions. The saturation of technology in most fields means that all students — not just those who plan to pursue a STEM profession — will require a solid foundation in STEM to be productive members of the workforce.
