A common definition is…

STEM education is an interdisciplinary approach to learning


where rigorous academic concepts are coupled with real-

connections between school, community, work, and the
global enterprise enabling the development of STEM
literacy and with it the ability to compete in the
new economy. (Tsupros, 2009)
