The Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math programs are designed to provide authentic learning experiences for all students through an interdisciplinary and applied approach. The curriculum is focused on developing skills in the areas of critical thinking, communication, collaboration, creativity, and citizenship (the 5Cs). STEM Labs at Cougar Elementary begin with playful inquiry, exploration of science and engineering concepts, and nurturing each child’s natural creativity and curiosity as they approach authentic problems. At Manassas Park Elementary, the STEM Labs explore the Engineering Design Process as a means to solve problems and develop new ideas. Students build their STEM literacy skills as they work to identify and use STEM concepts and processes to solve problems in everyday life. At the secondary level, STEM programs blend into one program area of our Career and Technical Education (CTE) Program. Students have the opportunity to explore careers and earn credentials in areas such as robotics, cybersecurity, mechatronics, and more.
