Why did you choose STEM?

Why did you choose STEM?
STEM is a curriculum based on the idea of educating students in four specific disciplines — science, technology, engineering and mathematics — in an interdisciplinary and applied approach. Rather than teach the four disciplines as separate and discrete subjects, STEM integrates them into a cohesive learning paradigm based on real-world applications.STEM for me is the track that suits the course I want to take on college, in STEM I can learn how to solve a problem, how to be creative and it allows me to get a job in the beauty industry in the future.
Inorder for you to understand, here are the benefits of this track, this will tell you why did I choose STEM.

1. It helps you stay current.

In a technology-based society, technology is forever changing. It’s also used in almost every aspect of our lives. As work places change with updated software, and office equipment and machinery become more advanced, STEM knowledge is vital. Keeping up with technology, not the Kardashians, is incredibly important.

2. It allows you to be innovative.

Someone created an app that allows you to take a picture of a piece of clothing and finds similar looks throughout the web.

Just think of the latest device you have in your hand or at the top of your wish list. STEM helps to transform new ideas into the best inventions.

3. It helps you make a difference.

Building that shelter, finding that cure, inventing the best way for people to communicate, or helping people  overcome financial obstacles makes a huge difference – and with a STEM education, you can make that happen.

4. It fosters – and benefits from – creativity.

Creativity is one of the many benefits of a STEM education.

Ironically, creativity is also the result of a STEM education! According to the NYTimes, James Michael Leake, director of engineering graphics at the University of Illinois, said that learning to make even rudimentary drawings is critical to development as an engineer. Design can help students understand how to effectively use the space within the structure.

5. It can get you a job in the beauty industry.

Without new innovative products hitting the shelves constantly, brands such as Covergirl and L’Oreal will not stay current and may lose business. This creates a lot of new opportunities for scientists to break into this industry. Just think – a product you design or create could help people feel more confident and comfortable in their own skin.
