STEM: STEM education is the integration of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. In preparing students for the economy of the future it is noted that increasingly, employers are looking for workers who are creative problem solvers, innovative and critical thinkers, and who are able to use new technologies. STEM education at CSPS offers an exciting opportunity for inquiry learning through the integration of curriculum and a design thinking approach that is engaging and relevant to students.
