Using STEM to Enhance Literacy program in Cullowhee

The world of STEM–science, technology, engineering, and math–provides a rich environment that motivates children to want to learn more. Children often prefer reading about spiders and dinosaurs to fictional characters. STEM activities help students build vocabulary, incorporate problem-solving skills, and analyze complex text with real-world applications. The teachers were able to take a look at maximizing classroom time by integrating literacy with the natural connections of STEM disciplines during "Using STEM to Enhance Literacy."
