STEM Program

Middle school students work through PLTW Gateway courses of Medical Detectives, Design & Modeling, and Automation & Robotics. High school students have the opportunity to enroll in a PLTW Biomedical Science course. Middle school students also explore STEM through a Creative Computing with Scratch course, building VEX Robots, coding Sphero Bolt robots, and learning Drone mechanics. Summer STEM camps for students in kindergarten through 8th grade are also offered.
