As students delve into computer hardware, software and algorithms they engage in computational thinking and application and build their capacity to become producers of computing technology. Computer Science Immersion / CodingĬMS computer science magnet schools are committed to integrating coding into the curriculum while developing the characteristics of our students as innovators, problem-solvers and critical thinkers. Students will explore solutions to existing environmental problems while learning how to preserve healthy ecosystems in both the world and their community. The Environmental Sustainability program provides students a learning environment that will connect students to local, regional and global environmental issues. STEAM complements 21st century skills, particularly the “4 C’s” of creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, and communication. Both require high student engagement in exploring creative and critical thinking, which supports collaborative learning. Both STEM and STEAM employ the artistic process and scientific method relying on exploration of ideas and possibilities. STEAM fuses Arts and creativity with STEM to engage the whole child and foster high achievement in all areas by blending the arts and sciences. The goal of STEM education is to prepare students for post-secondary study and the 21st century workforce. Along with content knowledge, a strong STEM program establishes student behaviors, which include engagement in inquiry, logical reasoning, collaboration, and investigation. STEM education is an approach to teaching and learning that integrates the content and skills of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
