If you haven’t heard of STEM before, it stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths, and refers to anything that exists within those realms. We’ve detailed what these subjects generally consist of below, though it’s worth mentioning that there are huge overlaps between them:

Science: This includes the obvious candidates such as biology, chemistry and physics, but also includes subjects such as psychology, geology and astronomy.

Technology: Perhaps the biggest and broadest of these subject areas, technology includes topics such as computer science, software development, AI and programming.

Engineering: This is not exhaustive but the four main areas of engineering are chemical, civil, mechanical and electrical engineering.

Maths: Although this includes geometry, fractions, algebra and statistics, it also encompasses subjects related to economics.

STEM learning aims to integrate all of these subjects, as opposed to teaching them as separate and disparate subjects.

Skills developed by students through STEM provide them with the foundation to succeed at school and beyond. 

STEM encourages the development of key skills, including: 

• problem solving
• creativity
• critical analysis
• teamwork
• independent thinking
• initiative
• communication
• digital literacy.
