Standards-Aligned
STEM Curriculum

Effective STEM education programs prepare students for college and careers of the future.

Successful STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) classrooms are much more than a few kits or “stuff” in a room. SmartLab’s robust packages include environmental design, experiential learning opportunities with hands-on technology and software, standards-aligned supplemental math and science curriculum, and teacher professional development. Together, these help SmartLab students become independent thinkers who synthesize new concepts in order to solve unique problems.

Teaches Collaboration

Environments and projects are structured for partner learning. Students learn that quality collaboration is as important as the final work product, making this and other 21st Century skills part of the regular assessment process.
