We strategically identify locations near technology parks with industry connections. Our expert team of land surveyors and demographers work with local municipalities and the State administration to secure the best deal.
School infrastructure and lab design - Creating a space that fosters learning is crucial to the creativity and focus of students. STEMCOE works hand in hand with our clients to design class and lab rooms that are engaging and optimal for experiential learning.
Teacher recruitment and training - Teachers are the core of STEM education. (ask Paddy how we recruit teachers). STEMCOE utilizes the 3 Cs (Customize, Create and Challenge) to create a learning environment which enables teachers to challenge students. We work conjointly with our teaching professionals to build lesson plans around their considerations including customized topics and STEM modules.
Curriculum - STEMCOE’s cutting-edge curriculum is an interdisciplinary resource designed to enhance core curriculum and bring STEM to life in the classroom. Our powerful 4Cs framework (Communication, Collaboration, Creativity and Critical Thinking) uses relatable scenarios that connect students to real world challenges. With each unit, students gain valuable critical-thinking and solution seeking skills for life.
