The article analyzes the meaning of "STEM education", revealing personal and social aspects. The main organizational forms and open online tools for implementing STEM education are shown. The most important functions and goals of the educational environment provided by Google services for the implementation and organization of STEM projects in higher education institutions and the most significant approaches used for the organization of STEM education are highlighted; the importance of the STEM-oriented approach in education is emphasized, for its implementation in education the mandatory use of educational e-platforms is emphasized. When implementing and creating STEM projects in higher education institutions, it is important and necessary to use information and communication technologies, and virtual and augmented reality technologies. Implementing a STEM approach to education results in a fruitful and stimulating STEM-oriented environment. Through experimental research, the importance and necessity of organizing a STEM-oriented environment in institutions of higher education was revealed, and the ways of using STEM technologies in higher education with a view to the formation of professional skills were clarified. Methodological recommendations have been developed for the implementation of the STEM approach in the practice of the educational process, where it is necessary to organize a STEM-oriented environment in higher education institutions and create certain optimal conditions.
