Why incorporate STEM into your school year? To utilize logical thinking, problem-solving skills, and practical skills. To be given opportunities to creatively work with others, and the time to try again when solutions do not work. STEM education plays a critical role in enabling the U.S. to remain the economic and technological leader of the global marketplace of the 21st century.

Just as each subject has a related purpose Each tool is important unto itself as related to its purpose
Gone are the days when it was expected that we teach subjects in isolation When designing your lessons, make it worth your while. Intensify the lesson by combining what works well together.
Like all recipes… • Enjoy the experience, there are many ways to accomplish an excellent, tasty STEM design brief. • Just like you tweak a recipe after tasting it; know that is okay to do the same with a STEM design brief.
