What is S.T.E.M.?By Jennifer Martin

Technological literacy is a key component of student success in the 21st Century. Fluency in science and mathematics forms a basis for critical thinking and an understanding of our world.

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) seeks to incorporate practical, hands-on engineering and technology experiences into the traditional subjects of science and math. STEM promotes discovery, exploration, higher-level thinking, collaboration and problem solving both inside and outside the classroom.

Project-Based Learning. Discovery Education tools, website resources like Khan Academy, and more. Using technology engineering and math apply beyond the classroom with these type of hands-on opportunities include Robotics, Chess Club, Math Games, and more.

WHAT DOES

S.T.E.M. LOOK LIKE?

It’s having students work with community getting them

excited about STEM!

Working with local high school students to engage future peers on STEM.

Are You Ready For Some FOOTBALL!!!!Fantasy Football uses math and science get students excited about applied learning skills.
