What is STEM and
why is the Foundation supporting it?
S.T.E.M. is short for science, technology, engineering and mathematics, but it’s much more than all of that. STEM learning involves problem-based units of study that incorporate critical thinking and scientific processes. STEM teaching requires expertise, collaboration and professional development. The Foundation recognizes that the demand for workers with STEM skills is increasing at every level; by instituting STEM practices at Henderson Middle School we hope to better prepare your child for the future workforce.
HMS started with selected STEM teams. It now has a certified STEM program. STEM is being taken school-wide, all teachers are becoming trained, and we are working toward full STEM certification for the entire school.
