Perspective

The Mission

STEM is an acronym for science, technology, engineering, and math. STEM skills are in demand, and not just in technical fields. The data shows that students with STEM experience are more successful at finding jobs, and are getting paid more, too.

But STEM in schools is not just about future careers. Rather, STEM fields emphasize creativity, innovation, problem-solving, logical thinking, critical thinking, and more. These skills have immediate and measurable impact on classroom performance, collaboration, and, most importantly, student confidence.

If you are just getting started with STEM in your school, review our CLASS TECH page for technology recommendations. Otherwise, check out the PROJECTS.

"There are lots of great resources for schools and teachers looking to introduce STEM into their classrooms. But there has long been a need for actual field-tested projects specifically designed for Torah based institutions and their students, which is why Torah STEM was created."
