STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education focuses on providing students with knowledge and skills in these fields. It fosters critical thinking, problem-solving skills, creativity, and collaboration, which are highly valued in the modern workforce. STEM education equips people with the tools to understand and navigate an increasingly technology-driven world. 

STEM education and business are two interconnected fields that play a crucial role in fostering innovation, economic growth, and social progress. In this seminar we will explore the relationship between STEM education, the economy and business, and how they can benefit from one another.
