2. What is STEM? Science Technology Engineering Mathematics

3. Why a STEM Fair? Providing students opportunities to make meaningful connections to the real world is critical as we develop the skills, behaviors, and dispositions necessary for college, career, and life readiness. Developing a S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Fair investigation will provide students the opportunity to use science knowledge and skills just as scientists do in the real world.

4. Skills used in STEM Fair include: Writing clearly Communicating information effectively Collecting and interpreting data Using evidence to justify your thinking Managing time Providing opportunities to ask “why” leading to the development of an experiment or designing of a solution/innovation
