STEM generally supports broadening the study of engineering within each of the other subjects, and beginning engineering at younger grades, even elementary school. 
It also brings STEM education to all students rather than only the gifted programs.
Its Committee on Science, Engineering, and Public Policy developed a list of 10 actions and the top 3 are listed here:
- Increase America’s talent pool by improving K–12 science and mathematics education
- Strengthen the skills of teachers through additional training in science, mathematics and technology
- Enlarge the pipeline of students prepared to enter college and graduate with STEM degrees
Here are a few more examples of Laser Pegs S.T.E.M. (Science Technology Engineering Math) Benefits
- Enhances Creative Reasoning
- Improves Hand/Eye Coordination
- Promotes Cognitive Development
- Encourages Communication and Teamwork
- Inspires Creativity and Model Building
- Develops Math and Reasoning Skills
- Education Educational Kits learning S.T.E.M. STEM
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration also has implemented programs and curricula to advance STEM education in order to replenish the pool of scientists, engineers and mathematicians who will lead space exploration in the 21st century.
After-school STEM programs children learn what the most promising practices are and how to implement them to increase the chance of student success.
Continuing S.T.E.M. education has expanded to the post-secondary level through masters programs. Laser Pegs enhance, encourage and compliment all STEM Programs.

Very nice set.
Stacy Stein – :
My kids LOVE this kit! Both of my boys, 6 year old twins, are very intrigued with the universe. They love rockets and space ships and aliens. I saw this kit and knew it would be perfect for them. I brought it home and my kids immediately jumped off the couch and ran over to the table. They play with it constantly, making things from the manuals or creating their own space ships. They are also able to use lego pieces from other sets! When it’s time to go to bed, they place it on the dresser and use it as a night light. They put down Laser Pegs as #1 on their Christmas list. I highly recommend Laser Pegs and their high-quality products.
