What is S.T.E.M. Education? Acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics STEM Education provides students innovative, project-based learning experiences that integrate STEM skills through problem-solving, group discovery, and exploratory learning. Integration of science, technology, engineering, and math across the curriculum
