5 Reasons Why Learning STEM Skills Will Position Your Child For Future Success
By Elnaz Sarraf, Founder and CEO of ROYBI Robot
First Off, What Is STEM?
STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. Recently, STEM has been the hot topic for education. So why all the fuss?
Because in a traditional education curriculum, there’s historically been a lack of focus on STEM. And now that our society and world is becoming more and more technologically advanced…
STEM skills are in high demand and CRITICAL for jobs in the future.
I also had the opportunity to speak with Congresswoman Anna Eshoo about creating a brighter future for kids. Here’s the letter she sent me after our conversation, about her support for STEM.
But why should kids learn STEM skills early?
Educators say that if kids aren’t comfortable and excited about STEM by 6th grade, it’s hard to attract them after that time.
With that being said, here are 5 more reasons why STEM skills will prepare your little one(s) for a successful future.
1. The Future Workforce Will Be Heavily Based On STEM Skills
Studies show STEM jobs are projected to increase by 8.8% by 2028 compared to a 5% growth of non-STEM jobs. This number is only projected to grow even higher. This means STEM jobs are critical to our future economy.
Here’s a recent chart from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics showing projected salaries and growth of STEM jobs compared to non-STEM jobs in the U.S.
2. STEM Teaches Problem-Solving And Critical Thinking Skills
"Educating students in STEM prepares them for life, regardless of what profession they choose." - Wired Magazine
STEM teaches students how to think critically and how to solve problems. This will help your child get through tough times and take advantage of opportunities whenever they appear.
Many interviewers ask questions to assess your critical thinking and problem-solving skills. While learning STEM skills, your child will be ready for those questions made to stump job applicants!
3. Foster A Love For Lifelong Learning
According to studies, kids are becoming jaded about school as early as pre-school!
But it’s not because kids don’t want to learn…
It’s because they don’t like the way they learn.
So what's the fix?
To learn through play!
Learning through play motivates children to learn, helps develop their curiosity, and improves their cognitive development.
Because of the nature of STEM activities for kids, it encourages kids to play and experiment.
This enthusiasm for learning will translate into all other areas for your child.
4. STEM Helps Your Child Become A Better Teammate
Working in a team and group work is an essential part of our lives. The sooner your child learns these skills, the better off they will be in the future.
STEM activities teach your kids to present their ideas, listen to others, and work collaboratively to create the best solutions.
This is crucial for helping develop your child’s social skills at an early age.
5. Fast-Track Your Child’s ELA Skills
ELA stands for English Language Arts.
Learning STEM skills will make a huge difference in helping your child’s ELA and literacy skills.
Studies show the main reason why students struggle with science and math is because of unfamiliar language. They simply don’t understand the concepts because they don’t know what the words mean.
Introducing STEM at an early age introduces these advanced vocabulary terms and concepts to your child.
This will give your child an easier time in the future with math and science.
