School STEM
School based STEM activities fall into one of four categories:
At the present time we are working closely with District 102 administration who is very receptive to our mission. It is still very early in the process of integrating our program with the school system. We hope to have a more formal relationship established with District 204 administration in the upcoming months, but can say that a good number of the teachers at LTHS welcome the ideas that we have proposed. Our intention is to include all of the District 204 feeder school Districts in the STEM integration program for the future.
STEM Career Day
May 18, 2017
May 18, 2017
LTHS STEM Career Day was a huge success. Attendance averaged over 36 students per session with a total of 474 attendance. Students heard from local professionals about their career choice, what a typical day includes and what is on the horizon for the future of their profession. The presentations were entertaining and informative. Many students enjoyed the ability to compare the merits of one profession over the other, since they were free to sit in on multiple presentations throughout the day.
We look forward to repeating this event in future years and expanding it to include the lower grades as well.
