STEM [Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics] is the acronym for the fields referred to in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.

It is an educational approach that introduces Technologies and Engineering Science, which are the means for humans to interact with the universe, into the teaching of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, which are vital for the basic understanding of the universe.

STEM attempts to transform from the level of traditional teacher-centered teaching to teaching where problem solving, discovery-investigative learning will play a dominant role in the curriculum, while the creative involvement of learners in discovering the solution will be required.

STEM provides opportunities for skill development by encouraging children to answer questions and engage in playful activities around science, math, engineering, and technology. The change in children's engagement and interest in STEM fields is truly impressive.

By implementing STEM through projects, learners learn to reflect on the process of solving authentic problems and acquire skills that are relevant to globalization in education, as it focuses on critical thinking, team work (collaboration), and has been reported to reduce the knowledge gap between learners from different countries.
