STEM is greater than S.T.E.M.
STEM literacy is achieved when a
student is able to apply his or her
understanding of how the world works
within and across these four
interrelated disciplines to improve the
social, economic, and environmental
condition of their local and global
community. Washington STEM Study Group, May 2011
