NEVADA STEM DEFINITION
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) 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, and mathematics, and their connection to other disciplines, to produce informed students that possess and apply their understanding to expand Nevada’s STEM-capable workforce in order to contribute to a healthy Nevada economy and compete in a global society.
Nevada STEM Educators – “The Right Stuff!”
We are proud of Nevada’s STEM educators. They are working hard to build students’ scientific literacy and STEM skills in order to build a skilled workforce and to help develop adults who understand our changing world and are productive in their personal, work, and civic lives.
Check out our home page and newsletter for all the great programs our educators, students, business and community do to help our students develop STEM literacy, skills, and interest.
