Idaho Legislators met with Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) schools in the Capitol rotunda this week. STEM schools focus on early learning and development in a collaborative and project-based environment. STEM offers a hands-on approach to education with the objective to build critical thinkers, collaborators, and innovators with problem-solving capabilities. The goal of STEM is to create opportunities for educators, students, and communities to build a competitive Idaho work force and economy.
