Welcome to our world. See how we define it.

STEM

While this glossary is mostly (and thankfully?) acronym free, some require inclusion, such as STEM for Science Technology Engineering and Math. There’s a lot of steam for STEM initiatives — both steam-inducing anger (picture a cartoon portrayal) about K-12 performance in STEM subjects as well as a full-steam-ahead commitment to address STEM needs. Not to stem that tide but ride it instead … STEAM (with its inclusion of Art) is also catching on.
