In this article, the author introduces integrative STEM (science, technology, engineering, and/or mathematics) education and discusses the importance of the program. The notion of integrative STEM education includes approaches that explore teaching and learning between/among any two or more of the STEM subject areas, and/or between a STEM subject and one or more other school subjects. It encourages and prepares STEM educators, administrators, and elementary educators to explore and implement integrative alternatives to traditional, disconnected STEM education. (Contains 2 footnotes.)
