The Importance of STEM
STEM subjects are essential in nearly every aspect of life. Activities in these fields encourage curiosity and innovation in children and young people. Today, the demand for engineers, scientists, and technology specialists is rapidly increasing. Interestingly, 75% of Nobel Prize
winners in science say their love for science began through extracurricular activities! (Source: Estonian Science Education Association).
