At City Stars Academy, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education engages students in interdisciplinary, inquiry based, real-world problem solving. Students use higher order thinking skills to ask questions, investigate and create solutions. They use data to reflect, analyze and refine their solutions. Finally, they evaluate and communicate those results. Our approach to STEM is both programmatic and integrated within all courses.
“Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow.”
Our STEM Approach
- Students are “STEM literate” and communicate, think, read and write like professionals in and across all content areas and courses.
- Students use inquiry and the design process to ask questions, design and refine to solve a real-world problem.
- Students collaborate through learning from and working with each other across content areas
- Students experience multiple opportunities to create and recreate with the understanding that failing is part of the learning and revising process
- Inquiry in STEM learning allows for student inspiration, choice and voice.
