Mission 

STEM-based education delivers more than science and mathematics concepts. The focus of STEM curriculum is hands-on learning with real-world applications. This helps develop a variety of skill sets that our modern world depends upon. 21st-century skills include media and technology literacy, productivity, social skills, communication, flexibility, and initiative. Other skills attained through STEM education include problem-solving, critical thinking, creativity, curiosity, decision making, leadership, entrepreneurship, acceptance of failure, and more.

Regardless of the future career path these children consider, these skill sets go a long way in preparing them to be innovative and positive contributing members of society. We seek to deliver an immersive STEM curriculum that sparks intellectual curiosity and a love of lifelong learning. STEM is critical to building a more secure future based on science, humanity, and understanding commensurate with Rotary International principles.
