STEM

In 2001, Judith A. Ramaley, a former director of the National Science Foundation's education and human-resources division was credited by many educators with being the first person to brand Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) curriculum as STEM. It was swiftly adopted by numerous institutions of higher education as well as the scientific communities as an important focus for education policy focus and development.

WE always view STEM support the instruction with a trans-disciplinary lens. Issues in our world arise and are demanding of solutions. Since before Da Vinci, we have taken up this call to action through the design process. It asks for a multiplicity of pathways to offer a series of plausible solutions. From that process has come the power of prototyping, and beta testing. Rarely have our classrooms offered children the chance to engage in such questioning and processes. Now, through STEM, we have the chance to invite our children to look at their schoolwork as important to the world.
