• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book is designed to give a visual STEM framework to individuals, families, and organizations within local, state, or national entities, to guide them with academic program design or individual participation involving students as early as Pre-K all the way through twelfth grade. The content was tested and designed in a charter and a public school sector. Exercising this design proved that early STEM involvement has been proven to allow younger students to begin with confidence when performing through learning science, technology, engineering, and math. This read should target parents, teachers, and students and show them the importance of federal, state, and local collaboration. The benefits of this read will also reveal organizational information for independent application to local schools, students, and businesses. Finally, when reading this book, a sense of independent research is promoted outside the walls of schools using research technology, emails, or simply by picking up your cell phone and contact any STEM or government agency to begin your knowledge-base of STEMology.
