Prairie STEM staff spent 3 days a week in the Robotics Lab at Spring Lake teaching math skills alongside robotics skills to classrooms of students. Prairie STEM teachers reinforced math lessons that teachers were working on. By using robots during the lessons, students were reintroduced math concepts in a different way, which made learning more […]

Working in collaboration with Facebook, Kiewit and Sherwood Foundations, community organizations (UNO, UNL, Collective for Youth, Girl Scouts, STEM Ecosystem, 75 North, Scott Scholars) and school districts (Westside and Papillion/LaVista) to bring STEM education/careers to students, specifically girls ages 8-14. The Girls in STEAM event is a 10-week program (1 event/week) where we engage, enrich […]

The awesome teachers at Prairie Stem worked with my primary and intermediate students on fun, engaging musical lessons. I especially loved how programming music into the robots encouraged all of my learners to really look at the notes and rhythms.

Building on the priority to support science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM education set by the Obama Administration that is reflected in several of the Administration’s initiatives, the U.S. Department of Education (the Department) is releasing a report outlining a vision to carry on that legacy in the coming decade.

There is a national consensus that today’s students need more opportunities to build skills in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) across the PreK-12 grade span.
