DO STEM Conference 2024

Learn how to provide students with the opportunity to learn through work experience in this session. Our district's Elementary STEAM Club students and Middle School Volunteer STEAM Lab Workers have established themselves by accomplishing projects in years past. Observing the younger students create items for the older students and adults in the district and community is fun to watch. They take great pride in their work. This year, we introduced a Work Order board where staff members fill out a form, and students select the order to work on and complete it by the designated date. This approach helps students gain skills and experiences that will be useful throughout their lives. This allows students to tackle and solve problems that they could face in the real world, empowers students to apply classroom learning to real-life situations, and engages them in Service learning to help their local needs.
