STEM & Integrated STEM

We view STEM education as inclusive of science, technology, engineering and/or math learning experiences, and we use 'integrated STEM' to refer to learning experiences that explicitly involve 2 or more of the STEM domains in an integrated way.

See more on integrated STEM education in this NASEM report.
