Abstract
“[Science] is more than a school subject, or the periodic table, or the properties of waves. It is an approach to the world, a critical way to understand and explore and engage with the world, and then have the capacity to change that world…” -President Barack Obama, March 23, 2015 (www.ed.gov/stem)
In a world where technology is becoming more complex by the minute, students need specialized skills to achieve, contribute and succeed beyond graduation day. Problem solving, information gathering and evidence evaluation are the broadly important strengths that students develop when they study science, technology, math and engineering – the so-called STEM disciplines. These are the academic tracks that focus not on just what students know, but on what they can do with what they know.
