STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. Each week in STEM class, we focus on one or more of these concepts in a fun and unique way!
Check this site regularly for updates on STEM class activities!

COMPUTATIONAL THINKING
We practice computational thinking in STEM.
Computational thinking includes:
-looking for patterns 🧐
-breaking problems into smaller parts (decomposing) 🤔
-finding and fixing mistakes (debugging) 💡
-focusing on the necessary information (abstraction) 🤩
We use these concepts in STEM, and work to apply them in our classrooms, too!
