"I've purposefully created this fischertechnik STEM Lab Program to meet Common Core Standards for Math, Reading and Writing as well as the National Science Education Standards, and standards of ISTE, ITEEA. This program can easily fill six months of class time and engage students in the study of applied physics with a systems approach to electronics, control and sensing." Tom White, Program Creator
How Project-Based Learning Enhances STEM Education, by Tom White
One of the many benefits of STEM education is the integration and application of cross curricular content. This allows students to understand the relationship of the subjects they study. To be effective a STEM program needs to be fully integrated, the best way demonstrated so far is with a comprehensive project based curriculum. This helps students answer the questions "Why do I need to know this" and "Where will I ever use this". Read More
