STEM education and maker education are essentially the same, both based on project learning. We need to start from a project or a problem and find solutions to complete the project or solve the problem through various channels, with the aim of cultivating children's creative thinking, but in actual education, there are some differences between them.

1, STEM education emphasizes interdisciplinary, and maker education emphasizes creation.

2. The problems of 2.STEM education mostly come from the teacher's setting and guidance, and pay more attention to hands-on experiments; The problems of maker education mainly come from students, emphasizing the output of real works.

3.STEM not only cultivates students' comprehensive problem-solving ability, but also emphasizes cultivating students' interdisciplinary pluralistic thinking; Maker education pays more attention to the cultivation of students' independent creative thinking. Students need to have their own ideas and work hard to realize them.

Generally speaking:

STEM education pays more attention to principle and systematicness, focusing on science, technology, engineering, mathematics and other knowledge and abilities, focusing on improving students' STEM literacy and solving real-life problems, laying the foundation for the growth of innovative talents.

Maker education focuses on methodology, aiming at remolding education by applying the concept of Maker, emphasizing turning creativity into reality through hands-on operation, and more directly pointing to the education of innovation and practical ability.

I hope it will be helpful to you, and welcome to supplement the shortcomings.
