3. What is STEM ?

4. STE
We have Science , Math, Engineering and Technology classes - we continue to move forward in all of these classes towards true STEM education. Our STEM education is particularly strong in the PLTW Engineering programs.
A couple of years but we just wanted to go over that because the lines are really blurry between science math engineering and technology and they should be so am I trying to tweeze out what are our engineering classes want you to understand that there's some overlap there's there's mac going on in in the engineering classes science going on in the engineering class is technology and they're all implemented within that Project Lead the Way program and we're trying to make the opposite true also so if you know of trying to work towards a true integrated curriculum is something that we're working towards and Project Lead the Way is a rigorous program that already has built that into the program the reason that we're focused on

5. Importance of STEM Education
B&R Stone programming is that it's really very critical for our students there are the jobs that are out there that Are Toonz are making money and also the percentage of jobs that are available to students when they graduate are largely in the stem Fields And even if they aren't going into a stem career they still need to have some basic in science technology engineering and math so these are showing is that only one in 16 years and when they graduate not necessarily sandwich this is a national study but they're not proficient the only one who fixes actually proficient in math and interested in the stem field and then they go off to college and Studies have shown that out of a hundred percent of students that say for instance start off wine

7. Sandwich is preparing students for success
16 out of 20 of the “Best Jobs” are currently in the Biomedical Field.

9. Project Lead the Way Cutting edge curriculum
Empowers students to solve real-word problems
Winner of Global Education Advancement award (“CLASSY” award) - Chosen over 3600 programs worldwide.

10. PLTW Programs Offered

11. SANDWICH EXCELS IN ENGINEERING
There are a total of 86 schools in MA that have PLTW programs.
Only 8 schools in MA offer Principles of Biomedical Science (PBS)
Of those 8 only 5 offer BOTH Engineering AND Principles of Biomedicine.
Sandwich is the only school in the state that offers PLTW Gateway programs (7-8), Engineering (9-12) and Biomedical (9-12).
PLTW

12. Courses offered at the Sandwich High School
The Firm currently at the sandwich high school starting next year incoming freshman will have an opportunity of which pathway they can choose from they can either pick the biomedical pathway with their ninth grade course with the principles of biosciences you should say something about how they start over the dead body you know that's always interesting to people like students were very excited about this program this year because it starts out with a death scene and you bring in the actual officers of forensic we've had different people from the community come in and present information about the actual process that takes place when there is a scene that used to be processed the other half of the Freshman it was actually about a 50% split our choosing engineering pathway we have been seeing with looking at the end of your courses course of study have to tell you and we have noticing that we have students that are taking intro to engineering and they're getting stronger each year and we feel that that's important that's because of the programming at stem the students are coming in and they're able to start at a higher education on the building their skill set is more developed and we feel worthless it's getting and where is preparing them for the global market which we don't know what that's going to be as a graduate from college but we want them to be competitive in that market after students take into the engineering if they choose that can go on to the next engineering course which is principles of engineering and that's more of what the program in a create a smaller Robotics and this year we can be sending as a new teacher to be trained and civil engineering an architect and has been students of all ages have been very interested in taking that course so you don't have to get in a pathway get stuck in that pathway were allowing students to jump back and forth we're not sure exactly how it's going to work as time goes on we want students to be exposed to the course of studies that they are interested it
