The implementation of the STEM approach in education is important for the development of the competitiveness of the national economy and human capital. STEM disciplines can be integrated at four levels. Electronics plays an important role in the implementation of the STEM approach in secondary science education. The problems and perspectives of teacher training for STEM education, especially in the implementation of the engineering component, are highlighted. Examples of the use of computer modelling in the teaching of electronics and the need for teacher training are considered. The attitude of teachers to the course “Fundamentals of Electronics”, developed on the basis of the Virtual STEM-Centre of the “National Centre Junior Academy of Sciences of Ukraine”, is investigated. The thematic sections of the course include lectures and practical classes adapted to distance and blended learning. The acquired skills can be used for laboratory work, including the use of Arduino and mobile applications for experiments at home. The course also covers new interdisciplinary areas such as chemotronics and bioelectronics, expanding the opportunities for teachers and students. The course was tested during the All-Ukrainian Physics School and the Regional STEM School Seminar, which confirmed the high interest of the participants and the effectiveness of the teaching methods
