EDINBURGH — East Side Elementary in Edinburgh is now a STEM Certified School. According to a recent update from the Indiana Department of Education, the school is part of Cohort 6 and is certified for 2020-2025.
STEM Certified Schools "are models for Indiana and their commitment to teaching the STEM disciplines of science, technology, engineering, and math, ultimately preparing students for success in the 21st Century," according to a program description.
STEM Certified Schools exemplify a highly non-traditional approach to education by employing a great deal of inquiry, project based learning, community engagement, entrepreneurship, student centered classrooms, and out-of-school STEM activities.
