STEM
The overall goal of the STEM program is to ensure that the students become STEM literate. This means that students can:
- critically analyze problems
- reason abstractly
- adapt to new situations
- effectively communicate
- use technology
- persevere
- work collaboratively and creatively
When the students are STEM literate, they will be able to be contributing members of society in the 21st century.
