About the Project

Our campus is just 30 miles away from Silicon Valley, the home of innovation, engineering, and applied science; however, our students and families do not have any shared experiences of the careers and opportunities that exist there. Developing strong math skills and science knowledge is paramount for success and one way to do it – is to make science and math education real. A team of 3rd through 5th grade teachers will implement project based science and math challenges and hands-on projects. These challenges and projects will allow students to develop their critical thinking skills, be creative, work together in teams, and share their results with their school, their community, and their families. But most importantly of all, we want our students to be curious about the world and move beyond what they already know and experience in their daily academic lives at school.
