Who Are We?
Who Are We?
The STEM Institute of Design and Innovation (SIDI) is a magnet program focused on science, technology, engineering, and math education. This program provides students the opportunity to explore various science and math strands from an engineering and technology standpoint in a highly collaborative environment. We also use design thinking to unlock creativity and promote innovative thinking in these fields. This helps students to grow and develop the knowledge, skills, and characteristics of a SC Profile of a Graduate. There is a strong focus on careers in these areas of industry.

The intent of the program is to challenge students to become young researchers, designers, and innovators who ask questions such as “Why?”, “How come?”, “What if…?”, and “Why not?”, while searching for new and vibrant solutions to problems within our society today.

Why Choose SIDI?
Why Choose SIDI?
This type of magnet is not for every student. We are searching for students who will grow in the type of soil this setting will provide. The most important component your family needs to consider is whether your student is truly interested and engaged in work involving science, technology, engineering, and math. Collaboration is a key component of the program, allowing students to learn from diverse viewpoints as they solve problems.
The STEM Institute of Design and Innovation (SIDI) serves students with a common set of personal qualities including persistence through challenges, a curiosity for knowledge, problem-solvers, an eagerness to explore new areas of scientific information, and a willingness to engage in activities related to these new areas.
