What is STEM Education?
The Nevada State Board of Education defines STEM as follows:
“STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education focuses on active teaching and learning, centered on relevant experiences, problem-solving and critical thinking processes.
STEM education emphasizes the natural interconnectedness of science, technology, engineering, mathematics and their connection to other disciplines to produce informed citizens that possess and apply the necessary understandings to expand Nevada’s STEM-capable workforce in order to compete in a global society.”
Adopted 2012

“Without a concerted statewide effort to align and increase quality STEM teaching practices for ALL students, Nevada will not have the future workforce for our nine economic sectors, the majority of which require STEM skills.”
