STEM Education

STEM in St Vrain encompasses a complete mindset of thinking. It isn’t limited to science, technology, engineering and math. We believe STEM is about integrating content, tools and practices, it’s creating a culture of curiosity and developing essential skills for all students. STEM allows for personalization of student learning and the ability to adapt to changes in our world. STEM creates connections with others on a local and global level. In St. Vrain, STEM focuses on solving human-centered problems to improve our world.
