ABOUT STEM

STEM is an enrichment class for motivated students that excel and are interested in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math.  This program gives these students an opportunity to apply the principles learned in math and science classes to real world applications and the kinds of careers that use them.

In STEM, students are presented with real-world problem solving challenges and develop, create, and test a solution for the challenge.

Additionally, students learn some amazing skills and use the latest technology to see their solutions realized.

OBJECTIVES

The core obective of SCM STEM is to equip students in four fundamental areas:

1.) Master using the Engineering Design Process to create & improve solutions.

2.)Integrate science and math principles in real-world scenarios.

3.)Cultivate a culture of creative thinking.

Provide risk-free and mistake-making opportunities.

4.)Emphasize teamwork and collaborative skills.

5.)Incorporate the use of current essential skills and technologies.

ROBOTICS PROGRAM

One of the perks of being a part of SCM STEM is the opportunity to join the SC Robotics team.

The Stewarts Creek Robotics Team is comprised completely of SCM STEM students and competes against other middle schools as well as high schools. In the fall, our team competes in the  Music City BEST Robotics challenge hosted at Lipscomb University.  In this student-led competition, students design and build a robot to solve a different problem each year.

Additionally, the SC Robotics team has competed in MATE, an underwater robotics challenge, and Robot Done League where we've taken our robot to the air.
