2021 年 6 月真题 （第一套）Play May Help Students' Stem Skills 听说玩耍能够增强咱们的硬实力！

Educators and business leaders have more in common than it may seem.

Teachers want to prepare students for a successful future.

Technology companies have an interest in developing a workforce with the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) skills needed to grow the company and advance the industry.

How can they work together to achieve these goals?

Play may be the answer.

Focusing on STEM skills is important, but the reality is that STEM skills are enhanced and more relevant when combined with traditional, hands-on creative activities.

This combination is proving to be the best way to prepare today's children to be the makers and builders of tomorrow.

That is why technology companies are partnering with educators to bring back good, old-fashioned play.

In fact, many experts argue that the most important 21st-century skills aren't related to specific technologies or subject matter, but to creativity; skills like imagination, problem-finding and problem-solving, teamwork, optimism, patience and the ability to experiment and take risks.

These are skills acquired when kids tinker.
