    This document summarizes a presentation about developing an integrated middle school STEM curriculum addressing the three dimensions of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). The Mi-STAR program brings together universities, school districts, teachers, and professional societies to design curriculum around relevant local and global issues. Units are organized by theme, engage students through exploration of an essential question, and combine multiple STEM disciplines and performance expectations. The goal is to better resemble how scientists work and increase STEM literacy, knowledge, skills, and lifelong interest.
