STEM Education is no longer confined to content areas in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. Interdisciplinary STEM Education relates to the skills necessary to be successful in any career, whether it is S.T.E.M. or not.

Skills such as persistence, teamwork, and the ability to find and solve problems are in-demand skills that prepare all kids for success!
Interdisciplinary STEM learning opportunities develop both content knowledge and a passion for inquiry and discovery.
