The STEM Academy was built by teachers, for teachers. Our development team consists of 22 professional educators from the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics who worked together with researchers and college level staff to design a comprehensive 6-12 program that is also linked to post secondary educational institutions. All of our course content and materials has been created and approved by our development team of professional educators. Teachers and students use the same tools utilized by industry professionals in engineering design, civil engineering and architecture, robotics, electronics, material science and bio-technology.
