STEM-based education delivers more than science and mathematics concepts. Our STEM curriculum helps develop a variety of skill sets that our modern world needs.

21st-century skills include media and technology literacy, productivity, social skills, communication, flexibility, and initiative. Other skills attained through STEM education include problem-solving, critical thinking, creativity, curiosity, decision making, leadership, entrepreneurship, acceptance of failure, and more. Regardless of the future career path, these children consider, these skill sets go a long way to preparing them to be innovative and positive contributing members of society. We are committed to deliver an immersive STEM curriculum that sparks intellectual curiosity and a love of lifelong learning. STEM is critical to building a more secure future based on science, humanity, and understanding commensurate with Rotary International principles.

Engaging Middle School Students with hands-On Learning

Hands on Learning Research done by the University of Virginia School of Education (UVA) shows that a lack of science engagement among young children can be carried forward into a lack of science engagement as adults. The question becomes “how do we get and keep students engaged?”— The very latest research from UVA on how to engage students in STEM courses states that activities such as camps, competitions and workshops outside of school have a positive impact on students’ engagement. Our STEM YEA Academy contains Intentional Learning Experiences which have been proven to engage students.
