STEM is an educational approach to learning that is widely used because it encourages students to think more broadly about real-world problems. It is based on the idea of educating students in the four specific disciplines of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (or five when art is included (STEAM)) in an interdisciplinary and applied approach. The Sugar Association is a STEM.org Accredited Educational program and we are proud to offer resources that enhance your classroom or home learning curriculum with our real sugar STEAM lesson plan and complementary videos. Distance learning or in-person, our STEAM resources can be used with students at all levels.
