STEM Day
Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics
STEM Day
Today, all students participated in a STEM Day within our Stages. STEM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics. Students will participate in authentic projects, where they will make clear connections between syllabus outcomes and real-world application. Through STEM, students apply skills, knowledge and understandings the way they will be applied in the workforce and in their daily lives. Students also develop key skills including:
- critical thinking
- creativity
- problem-solving
- collaboration
- communication
- independent thinking
- initiative
- digital literacy
Thank you to Mrs Parsons and Mrs Barratt for their organisation of the day.
