WHY STEM?  STEM MOTIVATION

 What is ENGINEERING...?

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) is a Learning Network available at certain schools in North Carolina, including J.W. York Elementary. The STEM program at J.W. York Elementary is filled with educators dedicated to the long term success of your children. Every day teachers and school leaders are developing innovative approaches to prepare tomorrow’s workforce with with exciting and challenging projects and assignments as well as community support.

In September of 2010 the nation's schools were challenged by the President to "Educate to Innovate". J.W. York Elementary accepted this challenge by applying for and receiving a "STEM" (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) grant to develop and incorporate STEM concepts within J.W. York's curriculum. As part of the North Carolina STEM Network, each grade level (Kindergarten through Fifth) received 30 iPads to incorporate technology skills into the curriculum.

The STEM concept is achieved by integrating the critical STEM disciplines (Learn more here) while maintaining a focus on peer learning and student projects. J.W. York's evolving classrooms creatively use STEM concepts to redefine the 21st century classroom.

STEM students also have access to after school activities including a Lego Robotics club, Engineered 2 Learn, and Science Olympiads.  Sign up for your children today and get them enrolled!  Let's help inspire all to be STEM minded!
