Why not focus on a subject you love while improving your language and living in a new country? One of the most popular choices is an exchange program where you can study at a top school focusing on STEM. <strong>But what does STEM education mean? And why exactly is a STEM education so important during your high school years?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-blue-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-what-is-stem-education-let-s-break-it-down\" style=\"font-size:30px\">What is STEM education? Let\u2019s break it down!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Science <\/strong>includes disciplines such as biology, chemistry, physics, and environmental science.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Technology<\/strong> refers to the machines, and systems used to solve problems or complete tasks. Think computer science, information technology and robotics competitions with your classmates to show off your skills.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Engineering <\/strong>involves constructing things like bridges, buildings, and even space rockets. It comes in various branches, like civil, mechanical, and electrical engineering.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mathematics <\/strong>is the language of numbers. It helps understand patterns, applicable in fields like calculus, algebra, statistics, and geometry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full mb-5\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.educatius.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/What-is-STEM.jpg\" alt=\"What is STEM\" class=\"wp-image-18920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.educatius.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/What-is-STEM.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.educatius.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/What-is-STEM-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.educatius.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/What-is-STEM-24x18.jpg 24w, https:\/\/www.educatius.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/What-is-STEM-36x27.jpg 36w, https:\/\/www.educatius.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/What-is-STEM-48x36.jpg 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-blue-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-skills-to-solve-real-world-problems\" style=\"font-size:30px\">Skills to solve real-world problems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dreaming of designing robots, creating video games, or finding cures for diseases?
