THE STEM CENTER

The STEM Center at Amideast/Cairo offers programs that build students’ creativity and problem-solving skills in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through experimentation and inquiry-based learning programs.

STEM is a learning pedagogy that emphasizes an interdisciplinary, applied approach to learning the four subjects in question ̶science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, commonly referred to as STEM. It incorporates hands-on learning and experimentation to promote the development of critical thinking and innovation in youth and children. With an emphasis on engineering, the approach also encourages young professionals to create new inventions that respond to the changing needs of the global economy.

As the global economy evolves towards a new future of work, it has become critical for educational institutions to respond to this shift by prioritizing STEM education. Generous support from Boeing enabled Amideast to establish the Stem Center in 2021 and operate it in order to provide accessible, affordable, and interactive STEM education to children and youth.
