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
