2. STEM stands for integrated learning experiences in:
 Science
 Technology
 Engineering
 Math
The key word is integrated. Traditionally these subjects are taught
separately with technology added as an afterthought. STEM
education integrates subjects with technology used as a tool to
enhance understanding, communicate, and share learning.

3. Emphasis on:
 21st century skills
 Critical thinking
 Problem solving
 Inquiry
 Collaboration

4. STEM careers :
 Scientists (help people, help animals, help
the environment, study the stars)
 Technology (computer programming, video
games, robotics, information)
 Engineers (designing, building, developing)
 Mathematicians (money, codes, numbers,
sports stats, etc.)

5. Everyday outcomes of STEM:
 Cell phones, smart phones or MP3 players - computer
engineering, high tech manufacturing
 Video games - computer engineering: hardware, and
software
 Movies- computer engineering: hardware, and software
 Cars - mechanical engineering, high tech manufacturing,
mining engineering, petroleum engineering
 Digital photography - computer software and hardware
engineering
 Plastic - petroleum engineering

6.  Engineers $52K to $83K
 Software engineers: $85K
 Chemists: $66K
 Medical Scientists: $73K
 Geoscientist: $79K
 Environmental Scientist: $60K
 Biochemist/Biophysicist: $83K
