STEM offers rich opportunities for children's development through the integration of knowledge from different fields, and through the spread of experiences from the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. At the same time, there are a number of problems that arise during early STEM education. One can question the effectiveness of training, and repelling children from STEM at an early age.

Incorporating STEM education into early childhood learning, is not an easy task. It requires a rethinking of the goals of Early Childhood STEM Education (ECSE) (OECD, 2012), i.e. which outcomes to pursue. The goal of ECSE should be to be the driving force that shapes decisions about what ideas, practices, and values ​​of STEM education should be included.

Tackling global challenges such as climate change, efficient use of energy and resources, and calling for interdisciplinary thinking and action. These challenges are clearly related to STEM fields, as well as the competencies that citizens need to understand and address issues such as the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

STEM education can be considered as an interdisciplinary approach that covers the entire educational process from preschool to higher education. STEM education can be identified as one of the new approaches used in the education system, which aims to help students solve problems in their daily lives (İdin, 2018). .
