Middle School STEM
The Middle School STEM curriculum is a dynamic, project-based program designed to ignite curiosity, foster creative problem-solving, and develop foundational skills in engineering, design, and technology. Grounded in the engineering design process, these courses emphasize hands-on learning, iteration, and real-world application.
Grade Six & Seven
In 6th and 7th grades, all students engage in a required semester-long STEM course that introduces key concepts in block and text-based coding, robotics, 3D printing, and computer-aided design (CAD). Students explore empathy-driven design as they collaborate to create solutions that address authentic challenges. These experiences build both technical fluency and collaborative skills, laying the groundwork for more advanced exploration.
Grade Eight
In 8th grade, students may elect to take a full-year STEM course that deepens their understanding and application of engineering and design principles. This course challenges students to take greater ownership of the design process through open-ended projects that integrate robotics, physical computing, digital fabrication, and user-centered design thinking. Emphasis is placed on innovation, resilience, and reflective practice as students refine their skills and prepare for high school STEM pathways.
