The Revolution in STEM Education

STEM = Science + Technology + Engineering + Mathematics In recent decades, research on the process of learning, and particularly on the process of learning science, has blossomed leading to the development of novel ways to instruct STEM subjects

Hands on learning takes center stage, in addition to relevant real-world applications and problem solving capabilities

We've developed a curriculum for teaching STEM material that incorporates this new research and takes advantage of an inexpensive array of OTS sensors for applying STEM subject material to real-world applications
