STEM… What is it? Why does it matter? How do we “do” it?

STEM is essentially the exploration of SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING AND MATH. We can probably all agree with the research that suggests that in our ever changing world, STEM skills are becoming increasingly essential.

Despite an influx of special programs and curricula, we don’t actually need to “do” STEM… it happens every day! When children play, they explore these concepts.

What we need to “do”, is to let it happen. Let children play, explore and discover in rich environments. Our role in STEM is to see the learning and make it visible, to document the thinking and understandings.

As you use these cards, you will rediscover science, technology, engineering and math as we explored as children. Enjoy…
