Science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education still misses the content of the letter “E”- engineering. The challenge is to advance engineering as part of the science’ education in schools, to develop the culture of innovation among young people. We need to look for opportunities for science learning in the school curriculum and beyond school walls – and start from an early age.

Engineering promotes Problem Solving and Project Based Learning. By using the engineering design process on challenges that are relevant to students’ lives, we help advance the 21st Century skills needed by all future citizens, encourage interest in scientific studies and promote interest in science careers. Collaboration among key STEM education stakeholders in all relevant sectors is needed.
