Why STEM?
The term "STEM" groups together the subjects of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics - all closely interlinked in solving many of the challenges facing modern society.
In recent years, the UK has seen an unprecedented rise in the interest of Government, industry and others in the successful uptake of STEM subjects in schools and colleges. This is driven by the need to improve understanding of STEM-related topics in the general public, and to raise the skills and aspirations of learners towards a lifetime of contribution to the scientific and technological base of the country.
