Welcome to the Raba STEM lab! I am Mrs. Cummings, the STEM lab Teacher.
STEM is part of the Discovery rotation. Students will come to Rattler STEM lab once every 6 school days. STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. STEM is a teaching philosophy that integrates these 4 subjects in order to offer instruction in real-world applications and teaching methods.
Teamwork is emphasized so students learn to collaborate, communicate and learn from each other to solve problems and develop critical thinking skills. Lessons are focused on creativity, leadership, engineering, robotics, coding and digital citizenship. Students are also introduced to different STEM careers to see first hand how STEM skills are applied in the real world.
There is a great need for STEM educated students to fill upcoming job openings in the future. By exposing elementary level students to these skills, we hope to build their confidence in pursuing these occupations. At the very least, these skills will help prepare students for success in life and any other occupation.
