How did STEM Education emerge?
Since the 1970s, in the educational field, there has been a growing debate about the need to establish training that fosters the integration of different disciplines of knowledge and strengthens, among other things, the acquisition of cognitive skills, such as critical thinking and problem-solving, in girls, boys, adolescents, and young people.
The world has sought to implement an education that meets current requirements, adapting the qualifications of human talent to these changing and evolving needs, emphasizing the role of creativity as a fundamental quality to foster the development of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in the most imaginative and innovative ways possible, in order to solve the problems of the world in which we live.
STEM Education aims to integrate these areas of knowledge through interdisciplinary, project-based learning that encourages inquiry. Students with STEM training become innovators, capable of making meaningful connections between school, community, work, and real-world challenges.
