They evaluate processes\u2014how students approach problems, test assumptions, debug logic, and iterate toward solutions. A generic assessment system rarely captures these dimensions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A purpose-built&nbsp;<strong>STEM assessment platform<\/strong>&nbsp;supports multiple forms of evidence, enabling educators to evaluate conceptual understanding alongside applied performance.
