STEM education is an interdisciplinary approach, blending four disciplines (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) into one cohesive learning and teaching paradigm. STEM education focuses on real-world scenarios. A STEM classroom promotes integrated learning, investigation, and questioning. It places an emphasis on design and problem solving and blends the disciplines through research topics.

the National Academy Foundation (NAF) is working with PC maker Lenovo to teach mobile app development to high school students, piloting it first in five schools across the U.S. The course we have designed can be implemented as a 12-week after-school or "out-of-school time" activity to supplement NAF-developed IT courses students take during the school day or as part of the existing IT curriculum.

Use art supplies, a circuit board, lights, motors and sensors to design, build and program robots that tell stories and express emotions. Robot Diaries development began in the summer of 2006 in a series of participatory design workshops with middle school girls. We set out to find a way to keep middle school girls engaged with robotics and authoring technology - at an age when many girls get away from such activities - perceiving them as activities for boys. The program has since developed to include both boys and girls - drawing upon students' interests in arts, crafts, communication, and storytelling while providing them with technical and design knowledge which enables them to build and utilize their own personal robots. Robot Diaries is currently in various stages of implementation in middle and elementary schools, kindergartens and after school programs.
