THE INNOVATOR EXPERIENCE BC STEM students experience STEM throughout the day, not just in science or math class. The STEM model encourages students to constantly draw from prior experiences to apply that knowledge in new, innovative ways. BC STEM students create — they take apart and build motors and machines, they code and create games and apps, and explore the world around them through innovation. STEM is not a special class or club; it is the key aspect of student learning every day. Our innovators learn traditional middle school subjects like social sciences and English in the context of STEM projects, to encourage innovation in every subject. These projects allow students to: • Build reflective inquiry and problem solving skills. • Use innovation and creative thinking to envision, design and test solutions. • Gain hands-on experience through activities like designing bridges, building communication devices and programming LEGO taskbots. • Learn everything from programming to physical computing to HTML/CSS as they build their own websites, devices, and so much more. • Develop their understanding of engineering and design, as they take apart objects to learn how they function and begin to build their own models.
OUTDOOR EDUCATION FOR SIXTH GRADE STUDENTS BC STEM sixth grade students will enjoy weekly visits to our Outdoor Education Center to experience hands-on science activities, solve problems in teams, encounter wildlife and learn key skills in outdoor recreation which will be useful in all aspects of life. Students will: • Learn teamwork, collaboration, risk taking, decision-making and conflict resolution through group activities like canoeing, creating remotely-operated vehicles and working together to navigate the outdoors using maps, compasses and radios. • Build important outdoor skills like fire building, shelterbuilding and plant and animal identification. • Conduct field research data/sample collection through activities like bird counting and observation and a long-term pond study. • Experience unique and challenging physical education activities like a high ropes course and tower climb.
