Greene County offers STEM tours throughout the year for schools or districts interested in learning how to establish a STEM program framework. Greene Central High (Model STEM School), Greene County Middle (Model STEM School), or Snow Hill Primary are available to experience the various components of each schools STEM programming. During the STEM Ambassador lead tour, guest will have the opportunity to observe STEM integration in classrooms, the MakerSpaces, speak with STEM Ambassadors, and leave with a STEM implementation blueprint.

Grand Challenges for Engineering (Project-Based Learning)
Grand Challenges emphasize twenty-first century skills, state content standards, and problem-based learning with the guidance of the National Academy of Engineering Grand Challenges. The National Academy of Engineering Grand Challenges focuses on fourteen engineering categories that humanity must face in order to forge and sustain a better future. Each Grand Challenge is further infused with a strong focus on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). To provide a balanced approach in developing the “Best Practice”, instructors are familiarized with The Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) model and the Engineering Design Process during their orientation to the program. The TPACK model states that teachers must learn to balance their technology, pedagogy, and content knowledge to truly teach in a 21st Century classroom. The Engineering Design Process provides the structure students use to guide the development of their final product. |
