Abstract

The article “Smart-Systems in STEM Education” explores the significance of integrating “Smart-systems” technologies into STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education. The article highlights the role of “Smart-systems” in preparing students for the future by providing practical experiences and fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills. It discusses various technologies associated with “Smart-systems,” such as robotics, IoT, AI, and data analytics, and their applications in STEM education. The article also presents a range of resources available for educators and students, including online courses, educational websites, maker spaces, and competitions. By leveraging these resources, educators can create engaging learning environments that inspire students to explore and pursue careers in emerging fields. The article emphasizes the benefits of incorporating “Smart-systems” in STEM education, including the development of technological literacy, interdisciplinary learning, and the cultivation of skills necessary for the digital age. Ultimately, embracing “Smart-systems” in STEM education empowers students to become the next generation of innovators and problem solvers who can contribute to a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
