INNOVATION - INGENUITY - CREATIVITY

PROBLEM SOLVING - COLLABORATION

The Tuxedo STEM Academies have worked to develop integrated schools that will highlight components of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) and actively engage students in project-based, collaborative learning environments that incorporate and promote the use of higher level thinking, digital technologies and content-driven problem solving skills to develop critical thinking within all other academic classes.

Our program is designed to incorporate the methodology and ideology of an integrative STEM education . These practices will engage students as they experience design challenges and project-based activities that teach skills from science, technology, engineering and mathematics that have practical application and real world connections.

STEM education is an approach to teaching and learning that integrates the content and skills of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics into all content areas. STEM standards of Practice guide instruction by defining the combination of behaviors, integrated with STEM skills, which are expected of a proficient STEM student.

Our classes will provide our students with the following skills:

Critical Thinking Troubleshooting Mathematical Literacy Teaming Skills Analytical Thinking Problem Solving Active Listening Collaboration Engineering Literacy Digital Literacy College Readiness Technological Literacy Communication Active Learning STEM Literacy Scientific Literacy Engineering Design Workplace Readiness Brainstorming Systems Thinking
