STEM Skills for the 21st Century
This year-long, two-class-period course combines science, technology, engineering, design, and mathematics in a problem-based learning environment. Students learn basic science, engineering, and design concepts, then apply those ideas to solve real-world problems. Foundational concepts include robotics, physics, chemistry, genetics, design, and modeling. The capstone of the class is a semester-long project designing a solution to a science-based problem which will be presented to the community.
