STEM stands for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. STEM is a method of learning and development that fuses the areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Science is universal, its principles are the same all over the world and it keeps growing. Technology is constantly advancing gaining new grounds, improving lives, and efficiency in every aspect of our lives. Engineering basically deals with recognizing problems, solving, and designing solutions, but also tackles the challenges of changing global weather. Mathematics is applied in all aspects of life.

STEM basically refers to two branches of science out of the three branches. These two branches of science are natural sciences and formal science. Natural sciences include physics, biology, chemistry, astronomy, and much more. While formal science includes mathematics, logic, computer science, and much more.

What are the Sustainable Development Goals?

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, were adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030. The 17 SDGs are integrated—that is, they recognize that action in one area will affect outcomes in others and that development must balance social, economic, and environmental sustainability. Through the pledge to Leave No One Behind, countries have committed to fast-track progress for those furthest behind first. That is why the SDGs are designed to bring the world to several life-changing ‘zeros’, including zero poverty, hunger, AIDS, and discrimination against women and girls. Everyone is needed to reach these ambitious targets. The creativity, know-how, technology, and financial resources from all of society is necessary to achieve the SDGs in every context.
