What STEMIC™ is
STEMIC means sySTEMIC learning for our new global age
- STEMIC stands for
- Science
- Thinking
- Engineering
- Mathematics
- Innovation
- Communication
- Science is about finding out
- Engineering is about designing things
- Mathematics is about understanding the virtual world of numbers
- Thinking is crucial and has three STEMIC parts
- Rigorous thinking - comes with mathematics
- Critical thinking - comes with science
- Creative thinking - comes with engineering
- Communication is about passing along information and has three STEMIC parts
- Written communication - reading and writing
- Oral communication - listening and speaking
- Visual communication - seeing and creating visual media
- Innovation is the capstone of STEMIC
