STEM Taking Root at St. Joe’s

Written by Bill Laurienti

This great article shares the ambitious STEM initiative at St. Joseph Catholic School in Waconia, MN. A SmartLab HQ is a key element in this  comprehensive effort that included extensive training and STEM certifications for St. Joe’s teachers.

The team at St. Joe’s took a transdisciplinary approach to STEM that favors content over traditional academic silos, fosters personalized learning, and emphasizes problem-solving and critical thinking.

Congrats to the team at St. Joe’s for implementing an innovative STEM initiative.
