STEM
Alexandra Brown
Our students engage in STEM through a variety of elective courses, competition-based clubs, and through a wide-range of interdisciplinary lessons and projects. While STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, we believe that STEM education extends beyond these four areas and that it provides students with the opportunity to develop, practice, and apply different skills. By engaging our students in Design Thinking and hands-on learning, we encourage students to think critically, collaborate with others, take risks, problem solve, and to be innovative.
Students also have the opportunity to participate in programming through our Center for STEM in Jewish Education (CSJE). The goal of the CSJE is to enhance and support STEM education, and to provide educational resources and opportunities to participate in weekend STEM Challenges and seminars to the CESJDS, and local communities.
