Encuesta sobre el interés por las escuelas comunitarias

STEM

La escuela Columbine Elementary un centro STEM . STEM el acrónimo de «Ciencia, Tecnología, Ingeniería y Matemáticas». Sabemos que el mundo está cambiando más rápido que nunca debido al descubrimiento de nuevas tecnologías científicas y sus aplicaciones.

En Columbine, preparamos a los alumnos para un futuro en el que la innovación, la comunicación, la colaboración, la competencia global, el pensamiento crítico y la resolución de problemas serán fundamentales.

This month in STEM, our students learned to code Ozobots. We will be hosting our Literacy and STEM night on December 5th from 5:30-7pm. We hope to see you there!
