STEM Concepts 1 and 2
One course that I am teaching is STEM Concepts. This course is a hands-on program that incorporates Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). Students are exposed to a variety of career skills and content throughout the year. Project-based and problem-based learning allows for the integration of scientific and mathematic principles through technology and engineering projects wherein students apply mathematic and scientific principles on a daily basis. Students will be exposed to a diverse array of course content.
STEM Concepts 1 is a 9th grade level course and STEM Concepts 2 is a 10th grade level course.
Students are asked to bring the following supplies with them daily:
- 1 inch binder (may be shared with DDP/Programming)
- Blue/black pen
- Pencil with eraser
- Highlighter
- Closed-toe shoes, long pants, shirt with sleeves*
*Students will be required to wear closed-toe shoes and long pants as a safety precaution in the lab; steel toe shoes are optional, but may be required in future years of the program. Tank tops/sleeveless shirts are prohibited in the lab. Students may keep a change of clothes in their lab lockers. Laboratory coats, safety glasses, gloves and ear plugs will be provided for student use.
