This document provides information about STEM education and STEM electives being offered in the 2017-18 school year. It defines STEM as Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics and notes that STEM education uses innovative, project-based and problem-solving learning. It then lists and describes various STEM skills students can develop such as research, critical thinking, communication, creativity and specific skills related to each STEM field. Finally, it outlines the STEM elective courses being offered, which will allow students to explore STEM topics and careers through hands-on enrichment activities.
