Our Kids Are the Future- STEM is the Future

STEM is a nationwide initiative aimed at better equipping kids for the future. STEM stands for science, technology, engineering, and math. But STEM is more than just an acronym, it’s a step forward.

Our mission statement at TWE includes creating the future. As educators, we strive to prepare our students not only for success at TWE but success in their future.  Research shows that the growth in STEM fields are increasing at a fast rate. In 2009, the United States Department of Labor listed the ten most wanted employees. Eight of those employees were ones with degrees in the STEM fields: accounting, computer science, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, information sciences and systems, computer engineering, civil engineering, and economics and finance.  We want our students to be lifelong learners and prepare them for the needs of the future.

Thanks to our generous PTA, our school has invested in STEM materials for all students K-5.  On May 31^st , all of our students will dive deep into STEM.  With the guidance of our teachers, students will engage in questioning, problem solving, collaboration, and hands-on activities.  We are looking forward to this fun day of learning!
