long term impacts on students of teachers that participate :
Impact Area
Goals (KPIs)
Enrollment
More students will enroll in government schools and attend more frequently.
Graduation Rates
More students will pass end of course exams and graduate.
Matriculation
Students will pursue a university degree in a STEM related area.
Career choices
Students who do not attend university will chose a STEM related field to pursue or will attend a technical school.
These key areas will be used to determine the success of the SSTA program and its future.

The SSTA will take an inquiry based approach to learning. What is inquiry based learning?
Inquiry based learning is an approach that provides learning opportunities to students through continuous questioning.
Students seek resolutions to questions while building their own knowledge along the way.
The process of learning and building knowledge is highlighted rather than the end result.
This differs from what children are taught in traditional school settings because it encourages the student to question the world around them and to learn through hands-on activities, problem solving, and generating solutions.
Teachers are seen as facilitators of learning, instead of delivering direct knowledge.
