STEM

Is this the new buzzword during your staff meetings?  I love how my two worlds are finally meshing. I found this really neat website called www.stemschool.com that posts about different current events that are happening that center around STEM activities in schools. 


Here is a direct quote from the website...


"NASA undoubtedly realized how important it is to integrate learning and entertainment in order to keep the fleeting attention of today's youth so they will be better prepared for tomorrow's challenges."


They also posted a really neat game for students to play called Moonbase Alpha. It's a free online game where users can play the role of an exploration group that works in a futuristic 3-D lunar environment. 


Check it out :)
