WHY STEM ?
UPCOMING EVENTS
STEM is comprised of four components:
Science, Technology, Engineering and Math
subject areas. Our STEM program allows
students to experience indepth exploration and
handson project making. The use of handson
(kinesthetic) learning helps students to bridge
the gap between concrete observable
phenomena, and the theoretical abstract
concepts.
PROBLEM BASEDLEARNING
Check the individual school's website for times and moredetails.
All CCS STEM schools utilize PBL, Problem
Based Learning. PBL is a instructional
technique in which students are presented with
a problem and must use their prior knowledge,
content knowledge, and the design cycle to
solve the problem. PBLs provide students
opportunities to explore realworld scenarios
while mastering the North Carolina Standards.
