We believe that STEM is the integration of of the four fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, & Math) that is supported and enriched by literacy & inquiry. All students K-12 will be exposed to hands on activities, College & Career pathways, and real-world application explored through STEM projects & experiences. In order to do this work we are creating partnerships with outside organizations and businesses to bring the STEM world into the classroom and student learning outside into the community. As a department, we will support teachers, school leaders, parents, and community members to develop opportunities to engage in STEM projects and experiences. We provide professional development to support teachers, leaders, and partners in developing equitable and accessible STEM programming and learning in the classroom.
