Our school age program has awesome STEM projects that they complete weekly, sometimes daily! STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
So why is STEM important and why do we love it? STEM empowers individuals with skills to succeed and adapt to this increasing complex, changing, technological world. STEM is important because it pervades every part of our lives. Science is everywhere in the world around us and is used to impact people an every living on earth.
