ADVISOR | Mr. Tresvalles
The Westwood STEM League is a competitive team that participates in North NJ Interscholastic STEM League events. It provides students a cross-curricular opportunity to competitively and practically apply science, mathematics, and engineering skills in real-world challenges in events with other students in the region. In each design challenge, students work collaboratively to research, design, build, and present their final solutions to a panel of judges. For each competition, judges from engineering and design professions judge student work and provide input, allowing them to learn directly from those in the field. We also have different opportunities to hear from industry professionals that work in various STEM related fields to hear about their college experience, internship process, and job progression to prepare ourselves for the future. Class meetings are held in room 156; dates are communicated through Google Classroom. Click the links below to access their respective Classrooms!
