So, What is STEM Education?! STEM is a curriculum based on the idea of educating students in four specific disciplines — science, technology, engineering and mathematics — in an interdisciplinary and applied approach. Rather than teach the four disciplines as separate and discrete subjects, STEM integrates them into a cohesive learning paradigm based on real-world
Why is it important?! • Education in its larger definition is one of the most important ingredient in the sustainable and healthy growth of any community. Science, technology, mathematics and engineering (STEM) education on the other hand is the key ingredient in the economic and technological growth for nations seeking excellence and leadership
eSTEM Project International Diploma for School Teachers in STEM Education The project aims at developing a new generation of qualified STEM teachers who are able to develop Problem-solving, Innovation, Invention, Self-reliance, Logical thinking skills in students, and qualifying them to pursue STEM-based higher education and jobs. Those teachers will be able to work in STEM schools in Egypt and Arab countries as well as working with STEM methodology and resources in regular public and private schools.
