Executive Function + STEM

TERC is looking closely at the intersection of EF + STEM. Why? Because EF (Executive Function, the attention-regulation processes involved in goal-directed problem solving) is a critical foundation for engagement in STEM, and STEM has the potential to benefit children’s EF development. Our goal is to look at EF+STEM through the lenses of both neurodiversity and social equity.
