Wondering what the latest trend in science education
is? STEM clubs (Science, Technology,
Engineering, and Mathematics). These
clubs focus on STEM subjects to stimulate student’s interest in these areas
outside of the constraints of school curriculum. STEM clubs allow students to work with
teachers to explore ideas and engage in fun STEM activities. These clubs are only meant to compliment
curriculum and do not involve writing, tests, or exams; rather, students participate
in practical applications such as experiments, investigation, and
discussion.
A STEM club is typically headed up by a STEM teacher or
technician. Student mentors are
established to help guide fellow students.
STEM clubs are encouraged to
share their experiences and successes with the rest of the school to encourage
interest. More information about STEM
clubs can be found at:
