What+STEM+means

What is STEM? STEM is an acronym that stands for Science Engineering Technology and Math. STEM is also a general view to a students ability to use technology correctly, solve creative problems, organize information, communicate, and work in cooperation with others.

At Jefferson STEM our program looks like this: We integrate technology to enhance learning and prepare for the future. We blend subjects together at times to strengthen reading skills with science, spelling skills with smartboards, art skills with engineering, math skills with ecology...the list of possibilities is endless. We use many tried tested and trued methods of instruction. We have a Science and Engineering Lab that has been created for Jefferson students to learn through experimentation and laboratory work. We have mobile computer labs that we utilize to access the internet, prepare presentations, manipulate media and learn relevant skills.

There is no known formula for a STEM program. Winona has the opportunity to do something new, exciting, and tailor-made for our students and community!
