Our Approach

About STEMIO

STEM, it’s one of the most talked about topics in education. But what exactly is STEM? STEM stands for Science, Technology Engineering, and Mathematics. But it’s more than that.

STEM has grown to represent a unique approach to teaching and learning, one that centers around individual students’ learning styles and interests. This means STEM education has something to offer every student. Unlike traditional education experiences in which subject areas are concentrated on separately, STEM education emphasizes technology and integrates subjects in ways that connect disciplines and relate them to each other.

So why is STEM getting so much attention? STEM moves beyond simple test performance and focuses on developing higher level thinking skills by connecting classroom learning to the real world. STEM emphasizes collaboration, communication, research, problem solving, critical thinking, and creativity, skills that students need to be successful in today’s world regardless of specific interests or career goals. STEM is a direct response to the realisation that our future will be built on our capacity for innovation, invention, and creative problem solving.

The STEM International Organization (STEMIO) is a platform for professionals who contribute meaningfully to the STEM field and research around the world through their STEM subjects, scientific investigations, and research projects from school to university level.

(STEM International Organisation Singapore, “STEMIO”) constantly reshapes the communities we live in.

As part of the 70th session of the UN General Assembly and have adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These objectives form a program of sustainable, universal, and ambitious development—a program of the people, by the people, and for the people—conceived with the active participation of UNESCO.

STEMIO aims to form one of the targets of the Sustainable Development Goal on Education (SDG 4: Quality of Education), and it is considered a driver for the achievements of all 17 SDGs. Building capacity in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), especially in Asia, Africa, and from a gender perspective, is crucial to transforming knowledge into resilience ownership to promote sustainable development.

STEMIO empowers everyone to make informed decisions in favour of environmental integrity, economic viability, and a just society for present and future generations. It aims to provide the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values necessary to address sustainable development challenges.

Education is the process of facilitating learning or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits. Quality education specifically entails issues such as appropriate skill development, gender parity, the provision of relevant school infrastructure, equipment, educational materials and resources, scholarships, or the teaching force.

Enrollment in primary education in developing countries has reached 91%, but 57 million children still remain out of school. More than half of children who are not enrolled in school live in sub-Saharan Africa. An estimated 50% of out-of-school children of primary school age live in conflict-affected areas. 103 million youth worldwide are still illiterate, and more than 60% of them are women.

Education is at the root of this SDG, which aims to ensure education for all, starting with basic education. Specific objectives include providing more opportunities for technical and vocational training to youth and adults so they can get better jobs

Our STEM educational tours showcase the universality of STEM subjects and the diverse ways of thinking and building they inspire. Each STEM tour to Singapore, Dubai, Japan, London, & New York challenges students to develop imaginative solutions to global problems through critical thinking and creative expression.

The STEM Board of Directors thrives on:

Become a bridge between educators and students for their breakthrough research investigations.
Seek out sponsors for grant approvals to promote their research through STEM research funding.
Form a global community of dedicated and passionate STEM professionals for advisory roles.
Encourage research sharing through scientific events worldwide and the STEM Expo.
Empower skilled and leading women professionals by Women in STEM.
Conduct stem tours for the STEM researchers to explore real-world applications of their research via STEM Tours.

STEM to STEAM

The conventional wisdom holds that students should focus on these four STEM domains for their education, but that teachers should also teach them how to solve problems creatively, which is a skill that relies on STEM naturally. Now is the time to let your imagination run wild.

How can the arts be incorporated to enhance STEM fields? It has been realised after many years of research and development that mathematical, engineering, physics, and other hard science knowledge are not sufficient for innovation. Connecting the dots and bringing innovative ideas to reality also requires design-thinking, creativity, communication, and other creative abilities.

In contrast to STEM, STEAM promotes an innate sense of wonder. Typically, STEM education tends to isolate specific scientific disciplines. Although students can gain extensive knowledge in each area, they may lack the critical thinking skills necessary to solve real-world situations by combining and integrating their knowledge. Students’ inquiries during class are normal; however, they can be misunderstood by adults in authority figures’ eyes. Actually, it’s only a way of expressing interest. Students develop their communication abilities and gain exposure to new subjects through questioning. The goal of the STEAM programme is to assist students in doing just that.

Incorporating arts into STEM curricula also helps increase enrollment. The STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) disciplines are exciting. Unfortunately, they can come across as complicated and uninteresting. This is why the arts are so important; they help reveal the amazing truths hidden inside those disciplines. The “A” in STEM is not going to detract from the subject matter; contrary to popular belief, it will really complement it. Inspiring children to study art forms such as music, literature, dancing, etc., gives them fresh points of view.

President Message

Dear Members,

I am honored and humbled to be chosen by the Executive Committee as the new President of STEMIO.

On behalf of the Executive Committee, I would like to thank all of you for giving us the opportunity to serve you and we request your support and active participation in the activities of STEMIO.

We NEED your comments, suggestions and constructive criticism, as we attempt to learn the ropes and succeed in this challenging task. We look forward to incorporating all member’s enthusiasm and new ideas with this Managing Committee.

As I prepare to commence the new term, I wanted to take a moment to pass along my heartfelt thanks to all my senior colleagues and Ex. Presidents who made STEMIO a force to reckon with. I am very fortunate to have the knowledge base of my senior colleagues to help me along.

Our focus is to keep in touch with our members regularly and understand their requirements and extend our assistance, when it is required, for facilitating their service requirements with the funding Authorities.

We request members to submit their current and recent projects to us, so that we can assist and negotiate funding agencies both private and public. Our members are working closing with students and young stem researchers to help them build their area of research in their interest. We are also working together with professor/scientist/academic researchers/industrial experts to reach their desired people/student.

Our members can rest assured that STEMIO will continue to be an organization upon which they can rely on and trust.

Whatever the future holds, be assured that STEMIO will continue to strive towards excellence as has been done by our previous Executive Committees.

We will always remember our proud heritage.

On behalf of Managing committee, we are honored and privileged to serve all our members.

We look forward for all your cooperation and guidance.

PRESIDENT, STEMIO
