7th grade STEM focuses on creating the next generation of innovators and change-makers.
Students will be participating in a self-directed program to help them develop an entrepreneurship mindset that they can use for a lifetime.
This mindset involves identifying needs, brainstorming creative solutions, taking calculated risks, learning from failure, being resourceful and confident, working well with others, and persevering despite setbacks.
Students will be able to use state of the art technology like a laser engraver machine and 3D printer to bring their ideas to life!
