I think STEM gives us the opportunity to work with our classmates and learn more about each other while we work on our PLTW projects

We are using UV flashlights to identify a glitter bug powder which, in this case, resembles germs. This activity was very interesting and it helped us to learn about infection detection
Eli
In this experiment I learned about how germs can easily spread, and how you always have to wash your hands with soap and water to get rid of the germs. STEM makes learning enjoyable and engaging!

We want every student to flourish. Every child is different, and parents are essential partners throughout the academic and college counseling process. By looking at the bigger picture and understanding each student as an individual, we can help them make thoughtful decisions that position them for long-term success, not simply short-term outcomes.
