3 How is STEM like 3D Vision?In order to see things in 3D each eye sees a slightly different picture. The brain then integrates the two pictures to form one image. Science, technology, engineering and math are separate subjects that, when integrated, form one image- STEMVISION! Challenge: Integration of Standards from Science; Technology; CTE Engineering; Math
