School-aged students are at a very important cusp in their lives, a stage where immersion into STEM activities provides an eye-opening incursion into a future where they understand and bravely contribute to intersections of science, technology, engineering, art and math. Children who engage in a STEM curriculum or a STEM education while they are young typically grow up to be problem solvers, critical thinkers, and world changers. These kinds of education programs and learning environments are quite literally developing the leaders of tomorrow.

What is STEM competence? STEM competence refers to an individual’s ability to apply STEM knowledge, skills and attitude appropriately in his or her everyday life, workplace or educational context. As technology evolves at a rapid pace, competence is not a set of fixed skills but is conceptualized as a developmental capacity which is not confined to the traditional boundaries of discrete bodies of knowledge (e.g. computing, physics or chemistry competence). STEM knowledge includes epistemological knowledge, procedural knowledge and technical knowledge. Our work builds these, develops and builds STEM Competencies.
