ABSTRACT
STEM is widely recognised as the subjects science, technology, engineering and mathematics combined together and taught through an integrated approach. There is growing awareness globally of the importance of STEM education in developing learners as effective problem-solvers who can work constructively as part of a team. The ability to reason mathematically, think critically, solve problems and work collaboratively with others are important skills, sought after by employers today. These are considered by many, including Corlu, Capraro and Capraro (2014), Fitzallen (2015) and Meyrick (2011) to be the key skills of the 21st century.
