STEM
STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math and the STEM approach to teaching and learning has been a hot topic in education circles for a number of years. Integrating the content and skills of science, technology, engineering, and math begins as early as preschool, launching students on a pathway of learning that focuses on logical reasoning, critical thinking, collaboration, and investigation. The goal of STEM education is to prepare students for post-secondary study and the 21st-century global workforce.
CCPL supports STEM through our collections and programs designed to meet the needs of area students and to support the goals of local and statewide education initiatives.
