technology, itis very important to provide science education for schools from kindergarten to 12th gradeand even just pre-kindergarten. Especially STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, andMathematics) or STEAM (add Arts into STEM) education originally from the US gives us avery valuable reference and inspiration. Over twenty years before, many countries such as theUS, the UK, Germany, France, Japan, etc, issued successively corresponding policies andstandards for STEM education, emphasizing the interdisciplinary nature of science educationand the combination of science, technology and engineering practice. Furthermore, SeymourPapert, the inventor of LOGO computer language, who is also thought as the father of themaker movement, has advocated a

Methods of the Study. In this Work, we used the following methods: 1) for metacognitive skills development: reflexive tasks (an essays). 2) for metacognitive skills development assessment: reflexivity study technique(reflexivity questionnaire by А.V.Karpov9) The Experimental Base of the Study.

Schools can utilize STEM open source for teaching that leads to build robust education for students and help build their future and move out of poverty.In this paper we discuss Open source as tools and applications to enhance students learning inSTEM education.

The early estimates tended to assume about 70-80% of each cohortwould successfully make the transition. At the beginning of the fall semester of the first cohort’sjunior year, a detailed survey was used to more accurately determine the level of student interestand intention toward applying for transfer to NAU. The results indicated that 40 to 45 studentswould likely apply, which proved very close to the 47 who actually applied a few months later.To transfer to NAU for their senior year, the students are required to meet a TOEFL (Test ofEnglish as a Foreign
