The concept of scientific literacy was introduced in 1950s，and its connotation expanded from science literacy to STEM literacy，then from STEM to STEAM.As the economy and society developed.The USA，Japan and EU gave great focus to STEM education for teenagers，and considered it as an integral part of boosting national innovation capacity.At present，there are four major problems in the cultivation of student’s scientific literacy in China，e.g.，insufficient opportunities for students to use the knowledge they have learned due to the lack of curriculum integration，lack of project based learning and experiential learning activities，lack of flexibility in school to meet the diverse learning needs，and the fragmentation between school education and social education.The Future Engineer Project is an effective way to improve students STEM literacy.Since 2004，the project has been implemented for 10 years.As a part of the project，the National Youth Future Engineer Exposition and Competition has been organized for eight sessions.The last session，an important part of the National Science and Technology Week，has generated good social impact.This report also proposed four suggestions to improve the Future Engineer Project，including strengthening the leading role of the government，organizing pilot innovation activities for the teenagers，balancing educational resources for science popularization，and setting up special fund.
