What is a Creative STEM Project?

STEM is the study of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math and how each specific subject is important and related to the others.

For example, you can’t really study chemistry without having a firm grasp on math. You can’t study engineering effectively without a firm base in science.

STEM studies are simply a way to incorporate a multi-disciplinary approach to learning.

The STEM subjects are the cornerstone subjects for many modern careers and a strong basis in STEM will help children succeed throughout life by not only teaching them valuable skills but also by teaching them to think critically and logically about the world around them.

What Can Kids Learn Doing Creative STEM Activities?

A STEM activity is about more than just the lessons in science, technology, engineering, and math.

A STEM activity, at the root, shows children how to problem solve in a logical, creative way.

Kids aren’t just doing science experiments, they are learning valuable skills they can take with them into any career.

Creative STEM activities for kids teach kids the following skills:

  • Problem solving
  • Choosing the right tools for a job
  • How to work as a group
  • How to apply creative thinking to technical problems
  • Integrating several school subjects at once
  • How to deal with failure
  • Work ethic
  • Data recording
  • Logic

The benefits of STEM education go far beyond just the lesson of the day.
