At school
STEM helps you develop valuable skills like problem-solving, critical thinking, creativity and collaboration.
STEM is the study of science, technology, engineering and maths. At school, STEM is often learned through tasks that are practical and team based. In biology you might grow a seedling, while in technology you might design a solar-powered watch. Find out what STEM is, how it helps you and how STEM is helping us tackle the biggest issues of our time.
STEM is at the forefront of global developments that will change our lives for years to come. Whether it’s biomedicine, artificial intelligence or clean energy, STEM is helping us tackle some of the biggest issues of our time.
Creative thinking is central to complex problem solving so make sure you don’t leave your creativity at the door!
