Recent research from the Republic of Moldova (2021-2023) highlights the positive impact of STEM/STEAM education in pre-university education. The analyzed studies show that transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary projects improve the quality of education, develop cognitive skills, increase motivation and academic performance. Robotics competitions are effective in stimulating critical thinking and problem solving. A survey reveals a significant implementation of STEM projects by teachers, although they face a lack of technical resources and limited knowledge in computational thinking. Despite the challenges related to resources and training, the initiative of teachers to implement STEM projects is remarkable. Studies confirm the benefits of STEM/STEAM education, including cognitive development, improved academic performance, increased student motivation, development of essential skills and alignment with future careers. The creation of methodological guides, computational thinking courses and workshops is recommended to further support STEM education in the Republic of Moldova.
