Happy to announce that our STEM initiative at Juda receive a $10,000 grant to expand our robotic equipment used within our STEM program for all 6-12 grade students. Monsanto Grow Rural Education funded the school project (2 years now - 2015 and 2016).
The STEM program is done during homeroom time through-out the year as ungraded part of our curriculum to help develop and practice 21st Century skills like persistence, flexible thinking, problem solving and team work. It is key part of our visions to create life long learners.
Habits of Mind are quickly becoming the skills that separate people in the work place. I am excited because this grant helps Juda continue on its vision of changing the school culture from one problem-one solution mindset to a growth mindset - one where students attack problems with multiple solutions and refine thru multiple revisions. Like the world the students are entering.
Watch for updates!
