On behalf of conference organizers, I would like to invite you to the International STEM Education Conference: iSTEM-Ed 2018. The conference is organized by King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi - KMUTT Learning Institute, Faculty of Industrial Education and Technology, and Ratchaburi Campus and the Electrical Engineering Academic Association of Thailand (EEAAT). The organizers also extended the invitation to the Office of Vocational Education Commission and the Institute for the Promotion of Teaching Science and Technology to co-organize iSTEM-Ed 2018.

International STEM Education Conference is an annual event and iSTEM-Ed 2018 is the third in the series. The first iSTEM-Ed (iSTEM-Ed 2016) was in held in Pattaya and the second, iSTEM-Ed 2017, in Chiang Mai. In 2018 we are bringing iSTEM-Ed 2018 to Bangkok, the capital of Thailand. The conference will take place at KX|KMUTT, Bangkok Thailand on July 11-13, 2018.

iSTEM-Ed provides opportunities for sharing experiences, knowledge and techniques in teaching and learning of science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and arts. In our past two conferences, we have had great presentations and discussion among participants from various disciplines with common passion in teaching and learning and a common goal of helping students excel to their best. We expect this tradition to continue in iSTEM-Ed 2018.

The theme of iSTEM-Ed 2018 is STE(A)M Education: Step Forward to a Smart World. There will be traditional conference presentations of teaching and learning of Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Arts. We will also have special sessions from students and teachers from basic and vocational education. Our original conference presentations may include, but not limited to

• Skill development
• Technology-based teaching and learning
• Education management and system
• Models of teaching
• Art for STEM

The special sessions will involve presentations from teachers of vocational education, special science classrooms, and basic education. It will also be accompanied by lively poster with 1-2 minutes preview presentations of students of those same groups under the three themes of

• STE(A)M education for development of future citizen (Basic education)
• STE(A)M education for innovation in Industry 4.0 (Vocational education)
• STE(A)M education for research toward innovative-based economy (Special science classroom)

We are certain that we will have a great conference with opportunities to network across discipline of people whose passion are in student development. We hope you would join us in iSTEM-Ed 2018 at KX|KMUTT, Bangkok, Thailand. We are looking forward to welcoming you.
