Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (SIG STEM): Enhancing learning through content integration in Math and the Sciences

STEM. Science. Technology. Engineering. Math. STEM is about making good minds great. "[STEM is] an imaginative adventure of the mind seeking truth in a world of mystery. " Sir Cyril Herman Hinshelwood. Understanding science, technology, engineering, and math is increasingly important to participate in society. STEM education comes alive during hands-on learning situations and experiential learning. ASTE STEM SIG supports innovative technologies, integrated, problem-based inquiry, and research based programs in the sciences, technology, engineering, and math.
