S.T.E.M. Education from the Ground Up

Remember when you were a kid... building enormous "block" cities and towering pyramids. Or perhaps you were the experimenter...making music out of spoons, pots and pans or formulating your own recipes for your "Easy-bake Oven". Whatever your love, you were constantly creating and dreaming... a budding engineer of sorts.

STEM Education Coalition

Districts across the nation are examining the need to build feeder systems for STEM education to be sustained throughout high school. Hence, they are developing engineering components for elementary students to begin building that capacity.

Getting Back To Our Roots

As children, we loved a challenge... any challenge... including those posed by our parents. "Johnny, don't touch the stove" What inevitably happens? Johnny touches the stove and realizes the consequences in a very formative way. Interestingly enough, educations sometimes forgets that kids love a challenge. STEM integration focuses on the use of design briefs and challenges that expect students follow the same steps an engineer would use in an R & D facility.
