You’ve probably heard the acronym STEM before.  Have you wondered what it means?

 

STEM represents Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math.  There is a renewed interest in focusing on these core subjects in educational settings.  There are schools dedicated to advancing students in STEM. And the aim is to teach students how these subjects relate not only to each other but most especially how to make real world application.

 

To that end, there are wonderful STEM problem-solving toys and games available encouraging kids of all ages to develop their skills in these four main subjects while still having fun.  Come check them out with me!
