We believe all students in Lakeville Area Schools have a right to robust, active learning, personalized STEM experiences, based on the Minnesota Science Academic Standards.

We believe Personalized STEM learning should include:

• Integration across content areas within STEM programming 

• Science practices that inform engineering and computer science processes with an emphasis on process rather than the product

• Active  hands-on learning that supports creative exploration and multiple solutions 

• Growth mindsets that build persistence and grit

• Authentic and engaging experiences to create motivated lifelong learners

• Incorporation of digital tools to leverage student learning 

• Development of collaborative teams that support interpersonal skills

• Real world, scientific, engineering and computer science practices that build future ready skills
