STEM.org Student Endorsement Program | AAES

STEM.org international student certification — a verifiable learning record for college admissions and the Taiwan Ministry of Education learning portfolio.

STEM.org International Student Endorsement

A key proof of your learning portfolio and college-readiness

AAES is the official STEM.org partner responsible for student endorsement across Asia. The system is widely used as evidence of diverse achievements within learning-portfolio files.

Through a structured endorsement process, students who complete a STEM project course can be recommended by a certified STEM.org instructor and reviewed by an accredited venue, earning a record recognised internationally and accepted by the Taiwan Ministry of Education learning portfolio (database code 041U).

Students completing structured STEM projects, recommended by STEM.org-certified instructors and reviewed by accredited venues, earn an internationally credible portfolio recognized by Taiwan MOE. See
