"The stuff we do at STEM."
Hello again! Welcome to my Projects Page. Here at STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), we do a lot of projects. We are unlike other schools as you can probably tell. Unlike other school districts, STEM’s education relies a lot on projects. We specifically call this strategy P.B.L. which is an acronym for Project-Based Learning. Along with P.B.L., our projects are a lot more different here at STEM than at other schools. Our projects here at STEM are mainly different because we link our projects with our education and we make multiple drafts of our projects through critique sessions. We also have another belief that's important to us, the Five Qualities. The Five Qualities are five personality traits that we try to embody at our school. These are Persistence, Communication, Collaboration, Inquiry and Creativity. At STEM, we also focus on craftsmanship, hard work, thinking and explaining. Overall, we try to make people better people as well as smarter people.
