Using STEM to Enhance LIteracy

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. Teachers have joined us in Cullowhee for "Using STEM To Enhance Literacy." They will maximize classroom time by integrating literacy with the natural connections of STEM disciplines.
