What’s Happening in STEM
STEM is a curriculum based on the idea of educating students in four specific areas:
- Science
- Technology
- Engineering and
- Mathematics.
Instead of teaching these four areas of learning as separate and discrete subjects, STEM integrates them into one cohesive learning paradigm based on real-world applications. If you are a student that enjoys discovering new things, solving problems, learning how things work, applying creative thinking, designing plans, building structures then you already have some of the main qualities of a STEM a STEM learner.
At P.S. 174, William Sidney Mount the students are provided with the opportunity to develop a solid foundation in the ever growing and changing world of STEM. Some areas include:
- Lego robotics
- Introduction to principles of flight
- Coding (video game creation & animations)
- 3-D printing
- Designing architectural structures
- Graphing
- Using sensors to collect and analyze data
- Model rocket design
- Utilizing simple machines
- Creating electrical circuits And much more…….
