About STEM @ KES
STEM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. Our STEM lessons focus on giving students hands-on learning opportunities to investigate science concepts and real world problems. These classes are designed around three central beliefs:
Students must MAKE MISTAKES to learn.
Students must COOPERATE with each other as a team.
Students must THINK FOR THEMSELVES.
Yes, students get frustrated…and learn.
If students say, "I can't," or, "I don't know."
We reply with, "try again" and "let's find out."
Thank you for visiting the site!
