STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.
STEM is a curriculum based on the idea of equipping learners with knowledge and skills related to the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics - in an interdisciplinary approach and learners can apply to solve problems in everyday life. Instead of teaching four separate and discrete subjects, STEM combines them into a cohesive learning model based on practical applications.
