A Guide to STEM
At Sacred Heart, STEM is the backbone of our curriculum. Its principles and procedures are integrated throughout all subject areas, rather than serving as a “stand-alone” subject. All major corporations have expressed the need for skilled employees. Statistics show most schools are not preparing scholars with the necessary skills for future success. Those skills are called the 21st Century skills, and they include critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and communication. Nothing sharpens and develops those skills more than a STEM curriculum.
Some high school preparatory STEM skills your scholar will be developing include:
- Navigating a 3D printer
- Coding & HTML
- Digital modeling
- Robotics based studies
- Navigating engineering and technology-based programming
...And many more!
