What does STEM education mean? Literally, STEM is the abbreviation of four words: Science, Technology, Engineering and mathematics (Art (art STEAM education can also be added). STEM education is the general name of science, technology, engineering and mathematics education. It is a bridge, which can provide students with the opportunity to know the whole world. It is an interdisciplinary learning method, which enables students to turn the scattered knowledge they have learned into an interrelated and unified whole, thus eliminating the obstacles that the knowledge of various disciplines is separated in traditional teaching and is not conducive to students' comprehensive solution to practical problems.

After understanding the meaning of STEAM education, we should fully understand the educational model under this educational concept, and what is the significance for children's education?

First of all, STEM education aims at improving students' exploration spirit and innovation ability, and cultivating students' critical thinking and logical thinking. In the course, students can learn to analyze problems from multiple angles, explore problems in different ways and find answers.

Secondly, STEM education requires students to actively confirm goals, find resources, construct paths and solve problems. Obviously, there is not only one answer to a question, but also many ways to get the correct answer. Let students develop their thinking in the process and look at problems from multiple angles, thus cultivating their creativity.

Finally, STEM education is interdisciplinary, focusing on children's practical ability, supporting students' cooperative discussion and cultivating students' cooperative ability.
