STEM education is a curriculum that focuses heavily on science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

STEM schools and programs approach these important educational topics in an integrated manner, so that elements of each topic apply to the others. STEM-focused curricula range from preschool to graduate programs, depending on the resources within a particular school district or region.

STEM is a growing movement in education worldwide, not just in the United States. STEM-based learning programs aim to increase students' interest in pursuing higher education and careers. STEM education typically uses a blended learning model that combines traditional classroom instruction with online learning and hands-on activities. This model aims to expose students to different ways of learning and problem solving.
