STEM Learning in Florida

MEET ACADEMIC NEEDS

Florida Seeks STEM Graduates

The Florida Department of Education aims to ensure that the 2.8 million students it serves receive the instruction and resources they need to build bright futures. That includes supporting robust programs focusing on science, technology, mathematics, and engineering, so that young Floridians can carve out space in the competitive local and global job markets.

STEM and STEAM program facilitators are in high demand throughout the Sunshine State as lawmakers regularly push for a curriculum that prioritizes math and science content with real-world applications.

Stem Learning in Florida

Prepare Students to Become Innovators

The Florida DOE commits to providing high-quality education for students at all levels, with special emphasis on college and career readiness. To prepare for post-high school life, learners need opportunities to develop and test solutions to real-world problems in a safe, supportive classroom setting.

And with Florida’s vulnerable shorelines and lowlands, it’s more important than ever that today’s learners become tomorrow’s scientific and engineering innovators.

Hear From Our Happy Clients

“We recognize the importance of offering STEM programs to prepare our students for jobs that do not yet exist in our rapidly changing world.”

Deborah Strainge

Head of School, St. Mark’s Episcopal School | Palm Beach, FL

“The SmartLab HQ has opened a whole new way of learning and developing career paths for our high school students. We have been able to open them up new career ideas that many have never considered or even knew existed. In our lab the students have become licensed drone pilots who are working in the field, are coding their own apps to solve equations, have developed websites for outside businesses, and have decided to go to college for engineering in various fields. The kids in our lab are truly making life decisions about their future careers. None of that would have happened before you installed this lab.”

Marcus Diamond

SmartLab Facilitator, Weld Central High School, Weld County RE5 School District | Public | Keenesburg, CO

“The students have more say in their own learning—they get to drive it. Here, collaboration has increased, and it‘s more of a social learning environment. The students have pride in what they‘re doing.”

Dr. Stoney Beavers

Assistant Superintendent, Blount County Schools | Public | Oneonta, AL
