The Mill Creek STEM program, EPIC, is built upon learning strategies that are experiential, project-based, innovative, collaborative, and cross-curricular. The program is a response to STEM industry calls for employees who have both a solid academic foundation and “soft” skills (e.g., interpersonal communications, working with others in a team) along with critical thinking skills. Students take four classes within the EPIC program - their science, math, and language arts academic classes as well as an engineering elective. The rest of their classes are traditional classes such as electives. EPIC students have the opportunity to take any AP courses available to other Mill Creek students as well as all electives offered at Mill Creek. EPIC students are encouraged to participate in extracurricular activities and clubs, as EPIC is a program that recognizes the benefits of being a well-rounded student.
EPIC students describe what the program means to them, in a video created by EPIC Physics/Capstone teacher, Mr. Harper.
The core concept within the program is embed in our acronym:
Experiential
Project-based
Innovative
Cross curricular and Collaborative
We hope that through the EPIC program, students are able to develop skills and traits such as these, which will help them greatly wherever they go.
