This Special Issue focuses on Integrated STEM and STEM partnerships as they relate to teaching and learning. The articles included have been grouped into three main categories (i.e., partnerships (first four articles), real-world issues (middle three articles), and curriculum (last three articles)) and highlight areas of interdisciplinary science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Furthermore, teamwork is explored in STEM spaces. The guest editors encourage the reader to utilize the expertise and ideas presented for their own research contexts.
