STEM Education refers to an educational approach which integrates more than one of the educational disciplines – science, technology, engineering and math. STEM may seem like a complicated subject matter for young children, but they are born Scientists! Toddlers and preschoolers spontaneously engage in STEM activities on a regular basis. It is an exciting paradigm for giving children the tools to compete in the highly competitive global economy.
