WHAT IS STEM?

STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and mathematics. STEM education and training seeks not only to develop expertise and capability in each individual field but also to develop the ability and skills to work across disciplines through interdisciplinary learning. This knowledge and skill set are at the heart of the development of Scotland’s Young Workforce and of Glasgow’s future economy and prosperity. Developing an understanding and knowledge of STEM is also important to all of our daily lives and it is essential that we support our young people to become scientifically and digitally literate citizens.
