Presentation transcript:

WHAT IS STEM?  STEM is a curriculum based on the idea of educating students in four specific disciplines — science, technology, engineering and mathematics

STEM  Rather than teach the four disciplines as separate subjects… STEM integrates them into a learning paradigm with real-world applications.

WHY IS STEM IMPORTANT?

STEM EDUCATION IS THE KEY TO THE U.S.'S ECONOMIC FUTURE  According to the U.S. Department of Education, only 16 percent of high school students are interested in a STEM career and have proven a proficiency in mathematics.  There are not enough people with strong STEM knowledge and skills to fill the demand for jobs in the U.S.  For the U.S. to remain the global innovation leader, we must make the most of all of the potential STEM talent this country has to offer… that is YOU!  The time to start thinking about STEM programs is NOW. What you do now, and in middle school, will prepare you for entry into Cobb County’s STEM programs.
