what is S.T.E.M.?

STEM is Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. Our lives are completely immersed in science and technology. But take a minute to think about your daily routine and you quickly realize agriculture's importance. From the food we eat, the clothes we wear, to the fuel for our vehicles. Agriculture is everywhere!

Agriculture falls hand in hand with STEM learning, whether it’s the science behind farming itself, engineering and programming new technology to increase the efficiency of farming, or developing the mathematical concepts necessary to help engineer the new technology, it’s clear that agriculture has a heavy involvement with STEM.
