This is a celebration of the STEM learning that happens in OUSD schools. For most elementary schools, this looks like a science fair in which students put together “final drafts” of science investigations on a display board, or complete investigations that are extensions of the learning that happens every week as part of the FOSS Science Curriculum, the award-winning curriculum from the Lawrence Hall of Science at UC Berkeley for which every TK-8 class receives materials kits for hands-on science.
At the middle and high school levels, projects represent the learning that happens in core math and science classes, as well as STEM electives, such as computer science, engineering, health and bioscience, architecture, and more. As projects become more complex, many students student more time outside of class finishing their projects.
