The Importance of Encouraging Children to Learn STEM Skills

Learning STEM skills is important in order to help children be prepared for the future. STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and mathematics. These skills are helpful in building a foundation for knowledge and understanding of concepts that will help them be successful in the future.

STEM-related jobs are expected to grow by 17% in the ten years 2016-2026, which is much faster than other occupations. This means that more and more children will need to become familiar with these skills if they want to compete for these jobs. One way to do this is with our secret coding picture activity for kids.

One of the most fun STEM areas that kids are drawn to is coding. Coding activities don’t need to be difficult or complicated to set up. Try this free coding printable for an easy creative activity that builds in coding skills, all with a Halloween theme for spooky fun!
