BOLDLY Creating STEM/STEAM Learning Alternative

Learning is not a one-size fits all system. This is the benefit of BOLDLY creating learning experiences that develop systems, curriculum and lesson plans emphasizing the individual needs and strengths of each student choosing a STEM/STEAM learning alternative. When learning connects the dots to real-life situations, it can be a powerful option for students to engage BOLDLY with their critical thinking abilities and take their learning to a distinct level.

  attention and support to students. This BOLD approach can encourage

  students to engage and participate with their learning.
