STEM vs STEAM
–Science, Technology, Engineering and Math is STEM. When you add Art + Design, you have STEAM.
–STEM is the foundation of what today’s learners, and their knowledge should be grounded in, where STEAM may be the force needed to move our society and transform our economy in the 21st century.
This course differentiates between commonly mistaken pairs utilizing STEM literacy (ELA/Science Standards) and real world exploration.
Stem Literacy
–We build and highlight literacy in the areas of math and science. By creating and implementing literacy activities which explore discoveries in science and math, we work to develop reading and writing skills that are real-world for our students and make connections in all disciplines
ACT Math Prep Sessions/Math Tutoring
–Participants will have access to ACT prep materials. There will be scheduled ACT advisory sessions. We will also look at offering ACT tutoring to individual program participants.
–Secondary Goal: Increase each participants’ ACT standardized score (each girl will test a minimum of twice)
Touring Our Post-Secondary Options (TOP Options)
–COG partners with counselors and programs to introduce students to the college admissions process and to have them understand how valuable a college education can be to their future success.
