In June, Newark held their annual STEM Week program for middle schoolers all over the district. Students built moon colonies, learned about natural filtration systems and ph balance in lakes, and how to make a rocket fly. At the end of the week, students presented what they learned to their teachers, parents and members of the community, taking ownership of their achievements and sharing the excitement of solving problems with science, math and engineering. i2 Learning develops the STEM curriculum used by the Newark School system with some of the nations top universities, and partners with the schools to provide educators with the resources they need to run the project-based programs.
