Science & Innovation

The STEM experience for elementary scholars focuses on introducing young students to the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in an engaging and hands-on manner. The goal is to cultivate their curiosity, problem-solving skills, and critical thinking abilities while igniting an early passion for STEM subjects. The STEM experience for our elementary scholars is a great way for them to engage in and develop the skills and knowledge they need to pursue a career in the field of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. We want our students to be well versed in STEM, providing opportunities to be present and successful in spaces where we are underrepresented. 

Here are some key aspects of the STEM experience for elementary scholars:
 

• The STEM experience encourages students to ask questions, make observations, and develop hypotheses. They learn to think like scientists and engineers by investigating real-world problems and finding creative solutions through trial and error.
   
• STEM education emphasizes collaboration and teamwork. Students often work in groups or pairs to tackle projects and solve challenges together. This fosters communication skills, cooperation, the ability to work effectively as part of a team and community. 
   
• Even at the elementary level, students are introduced to various STEM career options. They learn about different professions and the educational pathways that can lead to exciting careers in STEM. This early exposure helps them understand the diverse possibilities that are available to them in the future.
   

Overall, the STEM experience for elementary scholars aims to create a stimulating and inclusive learning environment that nurtures a love for STEM subjects. By providing hands-on experiences, encouraging inquiry and collaboration, and connecting learning to the real world, young students are inspired to become lifelong learners and pursue careers in STEM fields.
