Tennessee actively supports STEM Education. Understanding Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) topics is increasingly important to fully participate in society. STEM content comes alive when students consistently experience it during hands-on learning situations that seamlessly weave together the four sub-disciplines that comprise the STEM acronym.

STEM classrooms offer a curriculum that is integrated, emphasize questioning and inquiry, and give students frequent opportunities to apply engineering design and problem-solving. At STEMresources.com Tennessee teachers can gain quick and easy access to standards-based instructional tools, quality curriculum materials, and the latest Internet materials!
