Integrating STEM subjects will allow students contextualize the knowledge acquired in each subject, and connect it with real world challenges or STEM professions. For example, if we want to introduce students to the importance of sustainability, we will need to examine this theme from various angles. Consequently, in the Technology subject students will learn how to seek relevant information, in their Mathematics class they will be introduced in ways to gather and present data and in their Biology or Economics class they will have the time to reflect and learn about the ecosystem or design projects about sustainability respectively. This is the first step to ensure that students even as early on as in Primary school will be able to understand how this knowledge can help tackle or solve everyday problems.
