Third Grade STEM Club
STEM (Science, Technology, Education, and Mathematics) education plays an increasingly important role in preparing our students for the future. This project proposal aims to address this need by implementing a weekly STEM club that allows approximately 75 third-grade students annual access to the skills and knowledge needed for the 21st century.
