Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Education: An Overview. Congressional Research Service, Library of Congress. Boris Granovskiy. June 12, 2018
The term STEM education refers to teaching and learning in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. It typically includes educational activities across all grade levels— from pre-school to post-doctorate—in both formal (e.g., classrooms) and informal (e.g., afterschool programs) settings. Federal policymakers have an active and enduring interest in STEM education, and the topic is frequently raised in federal science, education, workforce, national security, and immigration policy debates.
